Question about German MG-15

[daviddillion]

Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for a deactivated MG-15 (German gun used during WW2 by the Luftwaffe). I know Collectors Source has one but I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this gun or has ever seen it pop up in the previous years, as I'm trying to determine if anyone in Canada has it or if Collectors Source is my only option.

Thank you

there were about 40 of these MG-15 dewats imported by K&M back in the day.

Do you mean the MG 08/15?

An MG 08 that was redesigned and lightened in 1915.

Also, did you mean WW1 ?

Yes, exactly I am talking about the MG-15, developed during the 1930's and used by the Germans during World War II.

I should have checked the Collector Source site first...

Very odd that a gun developed in the 30's would get a 15 designation.
