I picked up this item recently on the Island of Guernsey (Channel Islands), There were quite a few twin MG machine guns stationed there. There's a bit of rust on it, it hasn't been cleaned, but the hinges, locks, and springs work perfectly. The box is nicely marked "bow" manufacturer Willy Victor, Berlin-Charlottenburg and dated 1940
