Product Information

Deactivated Old Specification WWII German MP40 Submachine Gun. BNZ 1944 Dated. The MP40 was often referred to by allied soldiers as the Schmeisser (Hugo schmeisser did not design the MP40). The MP 40 was an innovative design in both terms of manufacture and as a weapon of war It was made using stamped steel and Bakelite parts and had a very clever folding stock arrangement making it an ideal compact weapon for the German Fallshrimjager (paratroops). It was also a favourite with Allied troops and was a prized trophy and often it would be used in preference to other available weapons if captured. Kalashnikov took the folding stock design from the MP40 and used it on the now probably most famous modern assault rifle, the AK47. Deactivated in 1992 with a working action it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. This lovely example comes with an original leather sling.
