Well, there were more guns there than just the MG-34, but the '34 was the crown jewel for me....
My good friend Panzerschreck here on the board is one of the owners of United Armament, a Class 3 manufacturer, and this is his new toy....
WWII MG-34, manufactured by CZ/Brno under German occupation in 1944.
This is the original finish on the gun, it's beautiful. Even late in the war, the standards of machining, fit and finish, were just outstanding.
