Maixm M-1905/10 Display Machine Gun: Pre-WWI Dated: One of a Kind Rear Sight Assembly but all are 100% originalOriginal Item: One Only! One of the rarest of all Russian Maxims is this transitional model designated the M. 1905 10. These were introduced to replace the all Brass jacketed M. 1905 model which was extremely heavy and costly to manufacture. The M. 1905 10 has a substantial smooth steel jacket with brass faceplate as on the earliest models. The feed block and spade grip assemblies are also constructed of steel (not brass) just like the later M. 1910s.
