**SCARCE AND DESIRABLE WWII RUSSIAN DP28 MACHINE GUN (C&R).

SN 6531. Cal. 7.62 X 54R, bbl 28″. This DP28 was manufactured at Tula Arsenal in 1941 as indicated by the arrow within a square marking and date on top of the receiver. Charging handle does not match receiver SN. Buttstock is not an exact fit to the receiver tang and is in such clean condition it is likely a replacement. One original pan magazine is included with this lot. This weapon is marked on the bottom of the receiver “JPL T AZ85653” which indicates that it was one time in the possession of Pat Tomlinson, a noted firearms and aviation enthusiast in Arizona. On the right side of the receiver are “SS IIX”. 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 extremely fine as refinished with over 90% of the blue remaining on the receiver and shroud over some scratches, dings. Blue is more of a brown patina in the front sight area. Op rod is gray. Wooden stock is in clean, smooth condition, probably sanded and not a very good fit in the receiver tangs. This could be remedied by a good stock worker. Bore is clean with strong rifling. Bolt face is very good. Pan magazine has a finish consistent with the rest of this arm. This is a highly sought after and relatively scarce machine gun in the United States and its sure to please both the WWII collector and the shooting enthusiast. 4-51706 (20,000-30,000) – Lot 2021
