Class: Class III
Description:

A spiritual descendant of the World War I Bergmann MP18 SMG, the MP34 was developed and prototyped by Solothurn in Switzerland and manufactured by Steyr in Austria; restricted from SMG development by the terms of the Versailles Treaty, Rheinmetall of Germany bought stakes in both companies to get around the rules. A fine piece of craftsmanship, the MP34 is a fine exemplar of the final generation of hand-fitted, precisely machined sub-machine guns, which would give way to the mass-manufactured, machine stamped, utilitarian line of the Sten, MP40 and their descendants. Blade front and 500 yard tangent rear sights, with a bayonet lug mounted on the ventilated heat shield and an "E" and "D" marked selector switch on the left side of the stock. A small Austrian eagle stamp and "34" are present on the left side of the receiver, with matching serial numbers on the receiver, bolt and stock. Smooth pistol grip stock, with a grasping groove on the right side and a steel buttplate. Magazine absent.

Rating Definition:

Very good as deactivated, with original blue finish, showing areas of rust, brown spotting, edge wear and handling marks. The stock has been sanded and reshaped, with some light chips and cracks. The barrel has been pugged and welded at the breech, with the face of the bolt ground flat, removing the firing pin and disabling the extractor; nonfunctional, although mechanically functions fine. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), Class 3 DEWAT that is fully transferable, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479, National Firearms Act.
