Product Information

WWII German MP40 . Manufactured by ayf makers code for Erfurter Maschinenfabrik B. Geipel GmbH (ERMA), Erfurt, dated 1943. Erma are one of the rarer makers of the MP40, initially producing the MP38, they ceased production of the mp40 in 1943, this example being one from the very last batches with a W letter suffix at the end of the serial number (5460W). The initials "cnd" is the subcontractors code for National Krupp Registrierkassen, GmbH, Berlin with there Waffen code WaA254. This example also has the early slotted magazine block. 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 1995 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 manufactured by L&F (Linden & Funke KG, Iserlohn.).
