This is a very nice example of a scarce, fully transferable WWII General Motors M3 SMG. These weapons were developed circa 1941-1942. The majority of these weapons were converted to the "A1" standard after 1944, however this example remains in its original configuration, with the cocking handle on the right. It has the fixed front and rear sight on top of the receiver. The left side of the magazine well is marked: "SUB-MACH GUN/CAL. 45 M3" over the Guide Lamp marking and "crossed cannons/ U S NO 215632". It still retains it original combination safety/dust cover. It has its original telescoping wire stock and comes with one 30 round stick magazine and a M9 flash hider mounted on the British proofed barrel.

Very good as arsenal refurbished with 95% of a refinished and British black painted finish overall with some of the paint starting to flake off the outside. The front outside area of the barrel has some small vise marks.
