US ARMY MODEL 1917 BROWNING .30 CALIBER MACHINE
GUN CLINOMETER – LIKE NEW IN THE ORIGINAL LEATHER BELT
POUCH: A fine “like new” unissued Model 1917
Browning Machine Gun Clinometer. These clinometers were
issued with each gun and were used by the gun crew to
properly lay the gun and set the fields of fire.
This quality instrument features a brass elevation bar
and set screw, a glass bubble level and it still retains
all of its original OD green paint finish, with no signs
of wear, use or damage. This clinometer comes in its
original issue russet leather belt pouch, which - like
the instrument - is also in unissued condition.
Manufactured by the Exact Level Company of Highbridge,
New Jersey, this instrument is dated 1943, but it is the
same design which had been issued with the Model 1917
Machine Gun since its introduction.
Presenting in excellent condition,
this is an uncommon accessory for this well known
machine gun which saw extensive service in both World
Wars, and it will make an interesting addition to your
display. (0223) $175
