**FINNISH SUOMI MODEL 1931 SUBMACHINE GUN (C&R).

SN 40228. 9mm cal. 11″ bbl. Marked on left side of rear sight with triangle within a circle proof mark and “SUOMI/Tikkakoski”. Right side of rear sight marked “PATENT/1932”. On right side of receiver tube just to the rear of the ejection port “LAUCHLI SER 2 CAL 9 MOD L/COLLINSVILLE. ILL” which indicates that this weapon was probably at one time a Dewat. Bbl shroud and receiver SNs match. Bbl is SN 040717. This gun comes with two 30 round stick magazines, SNs 1850 and 3040. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance extremely fine with over 80% smooth blue finish remaining, thinning in spots with some bare metal at the high points and some slight areas of light pitting. Bbl itself has more of a gray finish but this is not immediately apparent when viewing through the shroud. Wooden stock has some bruises and scratches as well as a couple of small chips and presents a mottled appearance of areas of dark finish interspersed with stripes of much lighter wood. Bore is shiny and bright with sharp rifling with a couple of small pits right near the muzzle. Bolt face is excellent and bolt is in-the-white. 1 magazine retains about 60% finish, the other about 30% finish, thinning to a brown patina. This is a highly attractive and well made submachine gun. It is a sure winner both at the range and as a collector’s item. 4-51749 JWK66 (15,000-20,000) – Lot 1090
