Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This incredibly rare example features all original parts, including an original live barrel. Following guidelines provided by the BATF, the original barrel bushing and barrel have been welded to a steel non-firing dummy receiver tube, which is completely inert and not able to converted to firing. There is also the required 2 inches completely replaced by solid bar stock. The original sight has been attached to the top of the receiver. The trigger still pulls, the selector still moves, and the magazine correctly locks into place.
The gun is serial numbered 23585 on the barrel, on 14576 the rear receiver cap. There is also number 2480B on the bottom of the barrel, possibly an assembly number, and similar to markings see on other examples. The magazine release button is marked cos for Gebrüder Merz, Merz-Werke, Frankfurt, Main, a known maker of small arms components throughout the war. There are also small Waffenamt proofs on various small components of the display gun.
Also, included is an original magazine that is marked:
M.P. 41
PATENT SCHMEISSER
HAENEL
Everything is offered in very good condition. Considering that fewer that 27,000 of these were ever produced, and that this is only the sixth that we have owned in over two decades, declaring that these are RARE is an understatement. A great rare example, ready to display!
Note: Magazine will be deactivated where required.
The MP-41 (M.P. 41, MP 41) submachine gun was developed by Hugo Schmeisser, son of the Louis Schmeisser who developed the first practical machine gun, the MP-18. At the time of development of that MP-41, in 1941, the company C.G.Haenel, at which Schmeisser was chief designer, manufactured MP-40 submachine guns for the German army. It is possible that Schmeisser decided to develop a sub machine gun which was better suited for infantry use than the MP-40. For this reason, he combined the receiver, action and magazine of MP-40 with the wooden stock and selective-fire mechanism of MP-28. Haenel company produced more than few MP-41 submachine guns, which were mostly purchased by SS troops, which had their own supply chains. However, late in 1941, the Erma company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Haenel, and as a result, Haenel company was forced to cease production of the MP-41. Only 26,700 MP-41 pattern guns were ever made, and nearly all were issued to SS, SD and police troops.
The MP-41 (M.P. 41) submachine gun is blowback operated, selective-fire weapon which fires from an open bolt. It uses a bolt with telescoped return spring guide borrowed from the MP40. The receiver and magazine are also both borrowed from the MP40. The wooden stock and trigger unit with cross-bolt button fire mode selector were taken from the MP-28.
