This video showcases a fascinating German-captured 1910 Russian Maxim heavy machine gun that has been modified to fire 8x57mm ammunition. The analysis highlights unique modifications, including a brass jacket from a 1905 Maxim, an 'S' marking indicating 8mm, altered feed block, and the incorporation of a German MG08 lock and optics mounting bracket. Notably, the gun is presented on a rare WWI-pattern Russian Sokolov mount with both wheels and tripod legs, a variant that is difficult to find intact today. The description details the potential for the modifications to have been done by either Russian or German forces.
