A closed-bolt blowback-operated submachine gun, the Reising Model 50 saw action with the U.S. Marines in the Pacific as a substitute for the M1 Thompson, though they found their best success as defensive weapons for war-essential industries and as patrol carbines for American police forces. Blade front and elevation adjustable peep rear sights, with a flash hider/muzzle break, cooling fins on the barrel, three-line Worcester address near the ejection port, and three-position selector/safety on the right side. Smooth pistol grip stock with a cocking lever on the underside, a label reading "SUB 5" on the underside of the wrist, and a lightly ribbed buttplate. The buttplate is marked "NPD," likely for a police department. Included with the lot is an extra magazine.

fine, with 80% of the thinning period refinished blue, showing areas of brown and gray patina, a small amount of pitting on the barrel, and mild handling marks. The stock is very good as repaired, with minor chips and cracks around the edges, a small section of replacement wood near the magazine well, and mild dents and scuffs overall. Mechanically excellent.
