Original U.S. WWI US Navy Victory Medal Lot - SUBCHASER and ESCORT German Machine Guns The back of the hollow

The back of the hollow back examples were not heavily silvered

and a gray oxidized patina overall

and air assaults have largely been the preferred method of insertion for recent conflicts

The stock is still partly proud over the lock plate

which reads KOA ISSHIN MANTETSU SAKU
