Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel 1915.

Likely it was only the one ever made, and it no longer exists.

Didn't even think of doing that

I recognised it from one of Forgotton Weapons video's that featured it, and that I'd taken to watching a lot of during lockdown without a job.....had never heard of it prior or seen a photo of it prior to that.
