M2 Browning 50 Cal Cut Away Training Aid

Circa 1940s.

Size 1.2m Long x 40cm High.

This is a rare and remarkable piece of military history: an original M2 Browning .50 Caliber Training Aid, confidently dated to the World War II era. Renowned as "Ma Deuce," the M2 Browning is one of the most iconic and durable heavy machine guns ever designed, serving from WWII to the present day.

This specific example is a non-firing training and display model. All major parts move and operate freely, demonstrating its solid mechanical condition. It presents a superb opportunity for collectors, museums, or as a commanding centerpiece for a military history display.

While definitive paperwork is absent, the construction and patina are consistent with WWII manufacture. As noted, it was most likely brought to this region by American forces during World War II.
