    Hi Lassi,

    No, it is not for either the Mg34 or 42. It looks like it is a replacement belt(in steel instead of cloth) for the Maxim '08 to me. I have not seen one like it before. The 34 and 42 use a belt with one side open so the bolt can strip a round from the belt and feed it into the chamber. The Maxim on the other hand doesn't work the same way.

        Hi Gary and Bill thank you for your expertice
        Is it rare and what would the value be of a belt like this? Was thinking of trading or sell it for MG34 stuff.

        Thanks for the help

          Everyone

          Most 08 & 08/15 Shooters over here usually use the Turkish metalic belts or the Swiss steel Belts... The Turkish belts are around 20 $ for a 250 round belt... Your belt would be considered a accessory for the 08 series of weapons and possibly 75 to 100$ US... BILL
