Original EU-Deactivated MP43 assault gun, deactivated to the current eu specifications, legal to own within the European Union; a piece from my personal collection!

Rare EU deactivated MP43 marked qlv / cos indicating production by AYF or Erma. The MP43 is the model produced before the MP44 and STG-44. The MP43 is a typical late war product with several parts manufactured in the Merze Werke and the Erma Werke. This is a typical late war feature and it results in the typical multi tone finish on the MP43. Hence the different finishes on the gun which are typical for a late piece like this. The MP43 has no moving parts except for the action cover, fire select switch and its safety. It comes with its original leather sling. A nice and rare to find piece that would be very hard to replace!

Please note;  payment through PayPal is not possible for this item. Please check your local laws prior to purchasing. I can ship within the Netherlands only but personal pickup is preferred! 

Interesting 1944 dated ff33 field phone which features steel hardware finished with unusual mat green and  paint. The FF33 is marked prx 1944 which indicates production by Heliowatt Elektrizitäts AG, Werk Schweidnitz/Schlesien. It is also features an white coloured ink stamp “ark” which is an abbreviation for Arktisch which indicates the field telephone is designed so it can be used arctic climates. The overall design of the field phone is a late war variant, unusual paint and bakelite connection points for outgoing lines which were pre 1944 still made out of metal. A truly rare late war field phone in used but good condition!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!
