WWI German Light Machine Gun

This WWI Light German Machine Gun was produced by Spandau in 1918 and was one of the most common machine guns used during WWI. Typically the gun was liquid cooled and attached to a tripod in the trenches of WWI. This one in particular was air cooled and attached to an German Airplane. One of our local Duluthians took this piece off a plane and crated and shipped it to Veterans Memorial Hall that was then inside the St. Louis County Courthouse.
