**GERMAN MP18/I (C&R).

**GERMAN MP18/I (C&R). SN 1740. Cal. 9mm. 8″ bbl. Manufactured by Bergmann, of Suhl, Germany. Includes one snail drum magazine in fine to very fine condition with magazine cover. Numbers appear to be all matching except for the stock which is mismatched to rest of arm. Snail drum magazine number “9214” does not match gun. Action operates smoothly when cycled by hand. Magazine fits smoothly into magazine well. CONDITION: This gun has been nicely refinished in a non-military blue. Perforated bbl shroud retains 85% of this finish as does magazine housing. Receiver has 80% of finish remaining. There is evidence of light polishing on some of the proof marks. However, model designation, SN, and commercial proof marks are still crisp and clear. There is some extremely light import markings on top of magazine housing. There is also evidence that this weapon was at one time rendered unserviceable by welding the bolt in the forward position. However, bolt SN matches rest of gun as does bbl. Bolt is in the white as is correct, with commercial Eagle proof mark and SN visible when bolt is in the cocked position. Finish on receiver shows some speckling and some scratches although very smooth. Sling swivel is present under bbl shroud but rear sling swivel is missing. Screw on bbl shroud is not fully seated. Stock has minor dings and scratches but still shows non-matching SN on left side and proof mark is detectable on right side. Butt plate SN matches rest of gun, as do all metal parts. Snail drum magazine appears fully functional with good spring tension and includes magazine cover. The snail drum itself has a nice brown patina on 70% orig finish. Reinforcement on snail drum clamshell shows 30% of finish. 4-37903 JWK29 (8,000-12,000)
