Herstal MK2 tripod

42rocker do you have the T&E for your 206 tripod ?
If so interested to know what size taper the butt socket insert is as they differed on some country contracts ?
More questions later lol
Nice...

WallyG Have attached a few pics of the crown.
Bears a resemblance but the tripod quadrant crown is a bit basic.
I have not seen this crown marking on any parts of other Iraqi...

Thanks for the pictures cal50 appreciated.
I presumed the 37 number on mine was a year date as 1937 was the date of the contract for Iraqi Brens.
As yours shows 59 in western Arabic and also...

Can you have a good look over it every where and let us know if you find anything ?
A very nice find :-)

Also look on the bayonet mounting attachment to see if this is marked.
My UK one is marked 14.

Have a look on the RH side (or all over) the quadrant for markings.
One of mine has Iraqi markings the other has an Enfield inspection mark.

On the quadrant you should find a Czech HK inspection stamp.

The T&E's you need to look for will be similar to these.
More likely the tapered spigot type.

Brought to my attention by Brit Pumber,please do NOT do anything else to the tripod !
You have a Czech ZB206 tripod which is a rare beast and needs documenting before any refurb work is under taken....
