**SCARCE LATE WAR WWII GERMAN STG-44 STUMGEWEHR REGISTERED DE-ACTIVATED MACHINE GUN (C & R) (DEWAT).

SN 832ai. Cal. 7.92 Kurz. 16-1/4″ bbl. A great example of an “svw” (Mauser) manufactured STG-44 with “fxo” (C.G. Haenel) final proof on underside of receiver. Visible numbers matching throughout to include op-rod and Haenel manufactured bolt with appropriate extractor cut-out, stock is also matching laminated wood 5″ toe to heel (later low profile style) length. No mainspring present. Marked “StG44” on left side of receiver, both eagle / 135 and eagle / 37 proofs are prominent on underside of receiver forward of mag well. Attractive later style brown Kunstloff (bakelite) grip panels on hand grip. This machine gun was manufactured in 1945 as indicated on the mag housing during a period when these assault rifles were coming out with “2-tone” finish. Chamber has been welded shut with bbl welded to receiver at feed ramp point. This rifle includes one orig 30 rnd mag. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval for transfer. This item is fully transferable on an ATF form 5 as Curio & Relic eligible. It is a registered De-activated machine gun which must follow the same transfer process as any other National Firearm Act item. This gun maybe legally re-activated upon application and approval by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is Very good orig smooth gray finish on receiver, heat shield, cyl tube, rear sight, and bbl assembly. Very fine orig lustrous blue finish on buttstock hardware, pistol grip lower assembly, and ejection port cover. Bolt and op-rod retain most of their smooth gray finish with firing residue still on bolt and op-rod from its last firing, which may have been during WWII. The left rear top quarter portion and to a lesser extent the upper right rear side of the buttstock exhibits blood staining just as if this gun were slung muzzle down when the unfortunate soldier sustained a wound. Mechanics are crisp, however not functional due to plug in bbl. Unable to determine condition of bore due to welded chamber. This is an absolutely incredible find for the advanced German WWII collector which has come direct to Julia’s from the Veterans family. This gun with its wear pattern and all the features I have already mentioned speaks history. 52725-1 JWK (15,000-20,000) C&R – Lot 2108
