Rare EU Deactivated MP38 by Erma dated 1940

Excellent and textbook EU-Deactivated MP38 submachine gun. This example is a typical, early 1940 dated example marked 27 indicating production by Erma, B. Geipel, G.m.b.H. Waffenfabrik Erfurt. The MP38 is textbook in all parts; from the machined upper receiver to the cast aluminum lower to the early smooth magazine. The MP38 comes with the second pattern retracting handle which was a mandatory change on all MP38’s made on 25.7.1942. The MP38 is not fully number matching but is a rare beast as is. The MP38 was never refinished and is in its original, as found condition; besides it being deactivated ofcourse. The mp38 is deactivated with the barrel, bolt and trigger welded solid without moving parts other then the functional folding stock. The MP38 comes with a Dutch deactivation certificate. This is a very rare piece, that would be hard to upgrade. Of 14.000 MP38’s being produced in 1940, this is one of the very few that is left and would make a great addition to any collection!

Pickup is preferred, shipping within the Netherlands at cost of quality packaging and shipping at your own risk. I will not and can not ship this outside the EU.
