Who used this MG42 Post War???
I have owned this U.K. deactivated MG42 for a while that has had it's designation stamped changed to just M42, presumably post war, but I have no idea who may have done it, or why. It is the only example that I am aware of that is marked in such a way but I also don't believe it to be a MG3 or M53 dressed up to look like a MG42 or they would have got the marking correct? The top cover has been replaced at some point and probably some other parts as well as may be expected with something of this age. I would be pleased to hear of any thoughts as to who may have used it post war and why the designation marking was charged. Thanks for any information.
