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

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! :x
If you google with "Flzg MG" you get first - this topic question! 8O

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 ? :roll: (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
