Description:

A refined and streamlined successor to the MP38, the MP40 made extensive use of metal stampings and synthetic materials to make a weapon robust enough to withstand the stress of war while being simple enough to manufacture to keep up with the demand. Nearly every armed branch and paramilitary organization in Germany made use of the MP40, and many also found their way into the hands of opposition forces such as the French Resistance and Poland's Home Army, making it one of the signature weapons of the war. "MP40/bnz.42" (Steyr) on the end cap, "WaA623" (Steyr) proofed receiver tube, with a hooded blade front and two-leaf notch rear sights, Bakelite side panels, and an underfolding steel stock. Matching numbers are present on multiple components. "1/0" has been added to the left bakelite panels, with "101" in black paint on the underside of the forearm and a label reading "1075HM" on the right side.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 40% plus original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, numerous scattered light pitting, and handling marks. A minor dent is present on the rear of the trigger housing, and the grip panels show minor scuffs and dings. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a "Curios or Relic" as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11.
