And few examples for unusual/untypical use = field or alternative mountings.

Probably one of first real fortification mountings on heavy objects = Feste Mutzig.

Hi all,
I found these two images on SA-Kuva archive (57091-57092).
I think they are Finnish-design machinegun-mounts for bunker use (for 7.62mm Maxim machineguns), no?
Does anyone know his official designation ??

Yes these are Dutch soldiers manning a Schwarzlose M.08 in one of the MG-bunkers of Kornwerderzand.
