A refinement of the World War One era MP18 SMG, the MP28.II was part of the last generation of "heavy metal" SMGs, prior to the transition to the MP38/MP40 models for the Germans. Blade front and tangent rear sight, with a ventilated receiver that doubles as a heat shield for the barrel and a magazine well marked "M.P.28.II/SYSTEM/SCHMEISSER/PATENT". The underside of the receiver and top of the magazine well bear the serial number. A manual hook safety is integrated into the receiver, with a "D" and "E" marked pushbutton selector switch built into the trigger guard. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock with grasping grooves on the forearm, matching number on the underside, and a ribbed steel buttplate. Magazine absent.

Fine, with 90% of the professionally refinished blue finish, with areas of brown patina, covered shallow pitting and dings, and light handling marks. The stock is fine, with a crack in the left side near the selector switch and mild dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
