Developed by noted German SMG designer Hugo Schmeisser, the MP41 shares many features of the MP40 and MP28 sub-machine guns, essentially using a receiver, barrel and magazine well assembly in the vein of the 40, and a trigger group and stock following the 28. In essence, the 41 represented a meeting between the two generations of sub-machine guns deployed for World War II, the vintage hardwood and machined steel construction of the inter-war era, and the stampings and sheet metal that would dominate the Cold War era. Hooded blade front and two-leaf rear sights, with "eagle/swastika" and "eagle/37" markings on multiple components, the serial number on the underside of the barrel, and the three-line model, patent and address markings hand-cut into the top of the receiver. The Fleming Firearms address is hand-scribed on the lower right side of the receiver tube, concealed by the stock. The hardwood stock is finger grooved in the front, cut for a 98k style sling at the rear, with "E" and "D" (semi and full) pushbutton selector switch and a bright steel buttplate. One magazine is included, marked "M.P.41/PATENT SCHMEISSER/HAENEL" on the left side.

Fine as remanufactured/restored overall, with 95% plus professional quality blue, showing some bright cycling wear on the receiver, mild edge wear and handling marks overall, and some mild spotting. The stock is very fine, with a few light dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
