M1910 "Snow Cap" Maxim parts kit purchased! - Build cost advice?
I've recently been presented with an opportunity to buy an M1910 "Snow Cap" Maxim parts kit.
I bought the kit, I figured I'd post some pics.
The top cover is stamped "1945" and has a truncated pyramid symbol above some Cyrillic characters. Based on forum members input below it is Russian. Non-numbers matching. No missing parts! Woo hoo! The water jacket is in good condition with no major dents and all the threaded water and steam hose connections are in good shape (no damaged threads). The water jacket inside is filled with cosmoline. Barrel is shiny and there is very sharp. The parts kit and mount were purchased from Allegheny Arsenal in 2002 and have been stored in the dry Phoenix, AZ area for the past 13 years. There isn't a single spot of rust on anything.
- Both left and right side plates are torch cut but the seller has the front and rear pieces for both plates which have the lock cam, pads, dovetails, etc. intact
- Sokolov Mount included. Looks good and the T&E appears to be undamaged. Shield included
- Two metal PKM Goryunov ammo cans filled with links are included
- No water/steam hoses or water/steam/oil cans are included
