Early MP 40


Recommended Posts

 This MP40 is an early SN, all matching numbers.

Maker code 660- Steyr -Daimler- Puch

As you can see in photo, the zero in MP40 is stamped over with a one. I found this to be interesting especially on such a low SN. Another rare characteristic on this MP is the collar nut. It has the simplified two sided nut vs the more common six sided. Original magazines with period ammunition, pouch and magazine loader.

My father shooting the MP40, late 1950's. The second photo he couldn't have been 18 yet. A couple cool photos I found today. Thought I would share.

Do you still have the uniform in the last picture? What is the badge over the right cuff? Signals?

Judging by the photo the cap and the tunic have different distinguishing colours. The eagle on the cap is not the right type, it is from one of the political organisations, not the Wehrmacht, has been replaced by someone after 1945.

Fritz, back when he was a newbie collector! Lol. He wouldn't have been caught dead wearing a uniform that wasn't correct. Likely why this photo never surfaced. 🤣
