**STEYR MP-34o SUBMACHINE GUN WITH TWO SPARE BARRELS (REGISTERED DEWAT) (C&R).

SN 5275. Cal. 9mm Mauser. 8-1/2″ bbl. This is a typical Austrian made MP34o with matching numbers between receiver, safety and stock. Bbl SN does not match and chamber has been welded shut and heavily welded to front edge of receiver and shroud, as well as welded where the front of shroud meets the bbl. Bolt does not appear to have a SN and is almost certainly a later replacement as it has an eagle over 189 proof mark. No Cal designation under rear sight. This lot includes one orig 32 rnd magazine and two spare, serviceable bbls. Spare bbls are apparently in 9mm parabellum. Although unserviceable due to weld in chamber, firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand and bolt appears to be in serviceable condition. This weapon is registered with the BATF as unserviceable and National Firearms Act rules apply. It will transfer on a Form 3 or Form 5. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is fine with about 75% of orig blue finish remaining. Thinning at the high points and on bbl shroud. There is some welding discoloration at the bottom of the shroud where the bbl meets the receiver and some gouges and handling marks to the stock. Unable to check condition of bore of bbl within gun. Spare bbls have strong rifling with some pitting in the grooves as well as some spots of corrosion and pitting on the exterior. The MP 34o is a finely crafted machined steel submachine gun, one of the last before stamping of metal parts became commonplace. This example, although deactivated, would make a welcome addition to any WWII machine gun collection. 4-55377 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 2012
