Re: 1940 battleship machine gun

it could also be trash from a ship. possibly the gun was defective and discarded. very cool piece of history in any event. ditto on if it could talk.

All the Browning machine guns I've seen usually sell between $20,000 - $25,000 in the U.S. but they are fully operational refurbished weapons. For an antique non-operational show piece, I'm not sure.

I have also seen semi-automatic refurbished show pieces sell for $12,000 - $15,000.

I bought one full operational Browning m2 cal 12,7 for ca 3000US. But that is 10years ago.
One good advice is to dont rush the sales of war relics, take you time, and find the one special buyer who will take good care of the relic. Dont be blinded of the price alone.
