However, are you sure that it is a Russian SHKAS? What would a German unit be doing with this in 1940?

Re: German MGs Id
Thank you for your answer. Hisname. I also thought about a 7.92mm MG08-15 machine gun but I am unable to see the wooden butt in the photo....Hisname wrote
MG-08/15
Any idea about the tripod. Is the standard MG34 tripod ??

Hi all,
I think a Breda-SAFAT Italian machinegun but...7.7mm or 12.7mm caliber ??
How is it possible differenciate between both calibers ??

Re: German MGs Id
Yes, of course, they are very similar. The difference in size, moreover, the proportions are observed very accurately.
For identification, you often have to pay attention to the sight, muzzle brake, tripod and other small elements.
