MG34 lafette prices?

[Rheinmetall]

What is the current realistic price range for MG34 laffete mounts, assuming having original paint (not Yugo or other such paint) and no post-war modifications but re-covered pads?

2023 I sold a complete (albeit completely taken apart and rebuilt) tripod, with original optic, double barrel carrier and two single carriers, with four barrels, repro carry straps with original hardware, and repro gunners box with all original tools and bolt for 8k. Consider this was to a dealer who was going to re-sell it (which he did). Not sure this helps, but it's the best I can offer. Finding a non-postwar updated (at least in some way) tripod is tough.

MG34 ones are a bit hard to find. A ton wound up MG42 and mg3 modifications post war. And like you said yugo.

I picked up a lafette tripod recently from aubrey military antiques for around 6k or so.

Chris has one listed there atm, i haven’t looked at it in detail. But expect it to be around 6-8k these days for a non-modified post or late war one in good shape with og pain. More if you get optics and such with it.
