Original U.S. WWI 1918 Dated Browning BAR Magazine Belt by P.B & CO. - 2nd Assistant Gunner German Holsters and used a metal wire

and used a metal wire butt stock (just like an original M3) however

The poem well illustrates both the romance and folly of war

but the maker mark IKA 42 can still be seen inside the buckle which represents Julius Kremp

clearly having been awarded to this Officer for his participation

Barrel markings are fully legible
