WWII German MG34 MG42 Kriegsmarine Saddle Drum Carrier 50Rnd Set HASAG
WWII German MG34 and MG42 saddle drum carrier system, complete with two matching Kriegsmarine-accepted 50-round belt drums (Gurttrommeln). The "M" stamp designates "Marine," identifying this hardware as official property of the German Navy (Kriegsmarine). Manufactured by Hugo Schneider AG (HASAG), this authentic military surplus accessory features crisp naval property markings and early war inspection stamps.
Developed for the German Wehrmacht, these saddle drum carriers enabled machine gunners to rapidly mount pre-loaded 50-round belts onto MG34 and MG42 general-purpose machine guns. The Kriegsmarine variant was specifically issued to naval coastal artillery batteries, marine infantry, and shipboard defense detachments. Finding a complete matching set with verified naval acceptance markings makes this a premier addition to any historic military collection.
