Rare tan MG42 barrel carrier marked WA43

Original rare and untouched MG42 barrel carrier or Laufschützer 42 marked WA43 indicating production by an unknown maker. The barrel carrier is a textbook example for the MG42 barrel and comes with the factory attached sling and up to 85% of its original tan factory paint. The barrel carrier features a white painted number which most likely matched with the MG42 itself! 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!
