Manufactured by Haenel, this is a solid example of the MP28.II SMG. A refinement of the World War One era MP18 SMG, the MP28.II was part of the last generation of "heavy metal" SMGs, prior to the transition to the MP38/MP40 models for the Germans. Blade front and tangent rear sight graduated to "10", with a ventilated receiver that doubles as a heat shield for the barrel and a magazine well marked "M.P.28.II/SYSTEM/SCHMEISSER/PATENT". A manual hook safety is integrated into the receiver, with a "D" and "E" marked pushbutton selector switch built into the trigger guard. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock with grasping grooves on the forearm and a ribbed steel buttplate. An extra magazine is included.

Good, with a mixed brown and gray patina on much of the surface, with extensive scattered dark rust oxidization, areas of mild pitting, and light handling marks. The stock shows a pinned repair near the takedown catch, internal cracking, and a number of scuffs and scratches. Mixed numbers on the internal components. Mechanically excellent.
