**FANTASTIC ALL MATCHING STEYR MANUFACTURED WW II MP-40 (CURIO & RELIC).

SN 4542. Cal. 9 mm. 9.9″ bbl. This 1942 manufactured MP-40 is particularly desirable because it apparently has all matching visible parts including sight hood, bbl, bbl nut, receiver, bolt, lower assembly cap and swing out shoulder loop. It is also unusual because the parts almost without exception were all manufactured by Steyr. Numerous eagle “WaA 623” proofs on metal parts with “bnz” marks on lower assembly buffer cup and next to rear sling slot. Only the trigger appears to have been from a different sub-contractor which is an eagle over “WaA 818”. Bbl resting bar is not present but retaining pin is. This absent part is readily available from numerous sources. Very little play in the extended shoulder loop. This lot includes two orig Nazi marked 32-rnd magazines. Firing mechanism moves smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. Although registered as SN 4542 the actual SN is 4542d. This can be requested for correction upon transfer. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance very good to extremely fine with over 85% coverage, thinning to a grey patina on the bbl and also somewhat thinning on the receiver tube with loss of finish to all high points. Loss is consistent allowing the presentation of this firearm to remain very attractive. There is a more significant loss of finish just forward of the trigger guard where it is a uniform grey patina. Bore has strong, shiny rifling with some light corrosion just starting at the edge of the grooves. Overall a very fine collectible specimen, especially with its matching bolt and other parts. 49296-14 JWK32 C&R (10,000-15,000) – Lot 3773
