Hi rossmann,

the former german designation for this item was "Tragegestell"

Link: https://schlender-antik.com/produkt/tra ... pn-1943-2/

Google picture search: https://www.google.com/search?q=tragege ... =759&dpr=1

As always, with such technical questions, only the correct German designation of the time will help you further.

Good luck for your further research, these are quit rare, reproductions are not known... :milwink:
I personally don't know of a single example in a private collection, only from museums.

Hans, thanks for your reply, but you are wrong.
Your link https://schlender-antik.com/produkt/tra ... pn-1943-2/ talks about a completely different thing.
I didn't ask about Tragegestell für Gurttrommel, but about (let's call it so) Tragegestell für Doppeltrommelmagazin (DT15 or DT 34)
One such was found here in Lithuania, third photo.
As far as I know, they came at least in two models (photo below)

You are right, my mistake sorry

The asked price is overpriced, knitted for collectors outside of Germany.

The subject of double-drum magazines is complex, going back to WWI, but very interesting.

The feeding mechanism was innovative, very amazing, new back then...
