Rare tan MG42 barrel carrier marked cpa 43

Original rare and untouched MG42 barrel carrier or Laufschützer 42 marked cpa43 indicating production by Ostertagwerke, Vereinigte Geldschrankfabriken AG, Aalen in Wuerttemberg. The barrel carrier is a textbook example for the MG42 barrel and comes with the factory attached sling and up to 80% of its original tan factory paint. These barrel carriers are hard to find in original untouched condition as most of them wound up being repainted and reissued postwar. Hard to upgrade untouched piece!
