PM1910 is the longest produced version of the Maxim, remaining in full scale production up to 1945. Reliable under the very adverse conditions of the Russian winter and summer the PM1910 was usually mounted on the wheeled Sokolov Carriage. Because of the weight (combined gun and carriage being 163 lb) it took at least 2 men to drag the weapon. This example is the earlier version without the 'Snow cap' refilling port on the water jacket. The Korj stamp is a mark of Finnish capture and refurbishment during the Winter War.
