The official AHF small arms quiz thread

Well, Silviu, you put me at the quite a torture!

This is rather heavy & intriguing question. Even the Kennblätter from 01.08.41. (ammo under 37mm) didn't helped me, all I found were weapons in original caliber:
6,5mm Flzg MG 401(h) .... Lewis
6,5mm Flzg MG 402 (h) ... Schwarzlose
7,7mm Flzg MG 425 (h) ... Vickers.
In 7.9x57mmR Dutch caliber ( 7,9mm Patrone s S 294 (h)) I found only infantry (cavalry) Schwarzlose MGs (sMG-241,242,243,244(h)).
Very oddly, standard Dutch aircraft MG in this caliber (Browning M.36) is not mentioned!
If you google with "Flzg MG" you get first - this topic question!

As for me, you can spot a "motley towel" in the ring.

Silviu, since you changed the quiz question, could you fulfill our curiosity, i.e. to post the German beute codes for Dutch aircraft machine guns recalibrated to 7,9mm ? (Maybe the Dutch FN Browning M.36 markings as well?)

ops it is for Madsen
for Browning it's very possible to sell this weapons for axis allies ( recalibrate to 7,92 mm Mauser) and for my second question the answer is colonel Isaak N.Lewis and colonel Chauchat
