I guess this is my day to revive old threads. I didn't any better place to post pictures of my MG08. It is fully functional and legally registered. It is my understanding that such an old '08 is fairly rare as most were used up in the war. The sleigh is a modern reproduction that was hand made in Poland specifically for the US market. These mounts were imported 15 years ago for a fellow in Florida. I was told he imported about ten pieces. The ZF12 is mint perfect and appears to be unused.\

Here's a thirty second video of Dolf Goldsmith firing my MG08 during one of out little shoots.
