Product Information

Rare Sauer made MP44/Stg44 assault rifle. Sauer made by far the fewest MP44's of the four makers during WWII, only producing 55,000. The serial number (2961ad/44) dates to 1944, with only Sauer being allotted the letters "ad" to be used in there serial number blocks. Underneath the receiver it is correctly marked cos / WaAA44 (Merz Werke), ce (Sauer), WaA37 (Haenel/Sauer) and a Nazi-eagle (German army proof). The initials "ce" is the Sauer manufacturer mark and is only found on there MP44's. The MP44 uses the 7.92 Kurtz (short) cartridge and was made from stamped parts making it relatively quick and cheap to make. The MP44 was only in production for just a few years at the end of the war, including the Mkb42, MP43,MP44 & StG44 variants around 440,000 were every made with vast majority being destroyed during or after the war. This innovative weapon inspired today's assault rifles, for example the Kalashnikov AK47 was based on this weapon. The STG 44 or MP 44 was mainly issued to elite frontline Waffen-SS Panzer grenadier Divisions. Deactivated to old specifications in 1995 with a working action it cocks, strips and dry fires.
