This is a German MP40 machine gun loading tool, a rare and significant battlefield find. The tool is nearly complete, with minor rust spots and a moving part that has rusted solid. Despite the rust, it remains solid and is in relic condition. A highly recognizable relic, it has been cleaned and is ideal for display or as part of any collection.
The loader was recovered from a field near Trun, believed to be a pit dug by the Allies where large amounts of German equipment were discarded and buried following the Battle of the Falaise Pocket, Normandy, France, in 1944. A rare and interesting relic from the famous Normandy battlefield, it comes with an A5 laminated information sheet.
