Revised: 9/12/2011

CORRECTION: This is a Class III firearm.

*FINE GERMAN MP40 SUBMACHINE GUN (C&R). SN 2234G. Cal. 9 mm. 9″ bbl. Manufactured by ERMA (ayf WaA 280), with Mertzwerke (cos) parts, with replacement bbl installed by Ohio Ordnance Works and serialized to gun. Includes two orig magazines which are marked “ayf 42”. Receiver tube marked both “42” over (WaA44) and “cos” and eagle over “280” proofmark. Swing out shoulder loop is also marked eagle over “280”, however receiver cap is Mertzwerke (cos). Forward of receiver cap marked “MP40/ayf 41”. Gun has matching numbers except for bolt and firing pin assembly which are 5923h. Rear sight flip up tension spring broken and sight flips back and forth freely. Bbl resting bar is of the hard Bakelite type and matches in SN rest of gun as does muzzle nut and front sight hood. Assembly just forward of resting bar marked “37” (C.G. Hanel). Also included is orig German leather sling with a barely discernible maker’s ink stamp on the underside with “R?b?/19??” and one after-market black sling. Also included is Desert Publications MP40 Foreign Weapons Familiarization and Operation Guide. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon passes function test and appears fully functional. Mags fit well into mag well. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is excellent as refinished by Ohio Ordnance Works. Bolt has a plum color to it with some wear to the edges where it rides inside receiver tube. Also some loss of finish to receiver tube where the bolt handle has ridden along outside of tube. Lower assembly is of the attractive dark brown type and very handsome. Even the trigger is marked “280”. Mags are likewise excellent. Bore is excellent. Orig sling soft, cracking and frayed halfway through at one point, still barely serviceable. Reproduction sling is as new. This is a very interesting MP40 in that it has a 1941 date rear assembly matched to a 1942 dated receiver assembly and was made with cos parts with ERMA final proof. This indicates gun was probably made at the end of ’41 and finally assembly probably took place in early ’42. Great for a shooter! 4-42491 JWK126 (8,000-12,000)
