Manufactured in the United States as a semi-automatic version of the Russian DPM light machine gun from surplus parts and a deactivated receiver. The DPM is a late World War II improved version of the classic DP-27 machine gun, which feeds from a unique "dinner plate" drum magazine mounted flat on top of the receiver. It features a conical flash hider, winged post front and tangent rear sights, an integral bipod mounted to the heat shield, serrated birch pistol grips, and smooth buttstock with integral oiler. The right side of the receiver is marked with the Smith Manufacturing Group nomenclature and address. The top of the receiver is marked "Circle 11" and the top of the trigger housing is marked "DN1517." Includes two extra drum magazines and custom made plywood carry crate.

Very good, with 75% plus blue finish retained with discoloration on the receiver around re-weld marks, edge wear, handling marks, moderate spotting, crisp ribs on grips, and minor handling marks on buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
