Rivet and stud in brass or copper = Not German

[AGFA40]

Thank you for the information,

Could it be made by a foreign contracter,like czech etc

hook is not correct either.

[AGFA40]

Yes hook is not correct,is this a frankenstein dust cover put together,or from some former easternblock country military

I think its a yugo cover for the 34.

I agree with Ed, it's not for an MG42 but a 34. The hole for the cocking handle is round.

Thanks for your thougts guys.
Never was aware the postwar Yugo army used the MG34.
I do not think this is a repro cover to fool collectors,materials used are good Looking and there are a few modification like the hook,stud and rivet
It would be nice to see a ''period photo of the Yugo army using the MG34"

Best regards

I recall seeing some serbian irregular troops shooting an MG34, some years back in the news, during the Balkan Wars.
