This is a fantastic and rare set of MG34 42 Basket Belt Carrier with drums and ammunition can, all in the desirable tan desert paint. During World War II, the MG 34 was superseded (although it remained in combat use) by a new GPMG the MG 42. The MG 42 was more efficient to manufacture and more robust, and had a blistering 1,200rpm rate of fire. Both used the same types of drum magazines as well as ammunition cans.
