Yup, I've one or two bits and pieces to go with it, ammo tin, assault drum set, a couple of 50 round belts of inert 7.92, one with post war ammo but the other one is all WW2 dated stuff. I'll have a look see if I've any pics of the bits and pieces.

Just to make you sick...I bought mine when you could pick one up for under £300...

Here's some of the clutter that goes with my MG34's...

Nowt startling, just a couple of ammo cans and stuff like that, no fancy tripods or anything!

First up, an E Tin with a cammo finish, WaA stamped etc, probably used by Portuguese with their MG34's, don't think it was used WW2 by the Germans but it still looks good though. It's got one or two bits and pieces inside it.

Another ammo can, this one is an aluminium one and is WaA stamped & maker marked etc, dated 1940. The (inert) ammo in this one is all WW2 dated German rounds.

Some drum mags...

The twin drum mag set has been painted post war over the top of the original ordnance tan, maybe Norway or somewhere else, don't think it's Yugo tho as I've had them sometime, long before all the Yugo stuff appeared. I started removing the post war paint years ago but to be honest it was such a faff that I quickly lost interest and abandoned it! Maybe one day I'll get around to finishing it off...but I'll not be holding me breath waiting!
I'm not sure about the paint on the single drum, it's had a repaint but dunno if it's post war or war time? Ammo in it is all inert post war 7.92.

Right, the single drum first...

The carrier and twin drums...

Finally, in a Portuguese transit box...there is usually a spare barrel case in there too but I must of taken it out when I took the pic for some reason.
