I see it too. It could just be barrel distortion from a wide-angle lens on the camera.

That's what I'm thinking...regardless, that's just a photo I pulled off the web, not the actual one my grandfather has.

By the Germans or from the Germans?
The MP 18 was produced 1918 to 1920s...

I'm not sure, my wikipedia skills are a little grey in this area - it's hard to tell if the reference is to the copying of the machinegun design itself or the magaine drum/box fitting.
