Product Information

An early world war two production MP40 submachine gun. The makers code "660" is the code only used early Steyr Daimler-Puch produced MP40s. The date code 40 refers to 1940 as the year of manufacture, the first year the MP40 was issued to German forces. The overall condition is excellent with many parts matched. 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). The MP40 was issued widely throughout the German army with infantry divisions and SS units receiving them first in 1940, and was only in production from 1940 to 1945. 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. Deactivated in 1994 to old specifications with a working action it can be cocked, stripped and dry fired. A fantastic example of the iconic WWII SMG. Included is an original WWII leather sling.
