**GERMAN WWII MP 43/1 ASSAULT RIFLE (C&R).

SN 1353b. Cal. 8mm Kurz (7.92 x 33mm), bbl 16-1/2″. SN is actually 1353 b, but this weapon is registered simply as 1353. This can be requested to be corrected upon transfer. Gun is clearly stamped on the left side of receiver MP 43/1, and this assault rifle appears to be all matching and was made using subcontracted parts from Mertz-Werke (cos), Erma (WaA 280) and J.P. Sauer with C.G. Haenel final proof (Eagle/37). Hand grip was made by Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik AG (awt). Bolt is early type without cutout and was made by Mauser (ar) as was operating rod. Bbl was made Erma (WaA 280). This lot includes one original German 30-round magazine. 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 is very good with about 80% original finish remaining with significant loss to the bbl and gas lock which have thinned to a gray patina. There is considerably more finish on the rest of this arm with scattered spots of bare metal and abrasion. Wooden buttstock and handgrip also show some handling marks, bruises and chips but are still serviceable. Bore has shiny rifling with some pitting near the muzzle and scattered in the grooves. This is a really well made example and a fairly early production gun of the iconic original assault rifle. 4-51780 (15,000-20,000) – Lot 2007
