1918 dated skl model of a MG08 German maxim. Sled (schlitten) is dated 1917. It has not been confirmed if this was 'cut' by German armourers as as of today I have seen no period evidence, however, the Allies did skeletonise captured examples in order to educate their own machine gunners during WWI.
