EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE NAZI MARKED ERMA EMP MACHINE GUN (C&R).ERMAEMP159369MMBLACK LEATHER POUCH W/3 MAGSMODERN; NFA; C&RCal. 9mm. 9-3/4" bbl. This instantly recognizable Erma EMP machine gun has the nicest piece of wood this cataloger has ever seen on a sub-machine gun. It was very likely a reject from stock blank originally intended for a fine sporting shotgun which was re-purposed for the machine gun contract. There is a large 1" diameter knot in the wood on the right side to the rear of the forward grip which in no way affects serviceability. Marked with eagle proof on top of receiver as well as on the top of the bolt handle. One orig black leather magazine pouch marked "Schambach & Co" dated "1943" is included which has a barely discernible eagle over swastika proof. Also included are three orig 20 rnd magazines. This is a National Firearms Act item and requires BATF approval prior to transfer. This weapon is fully transferable on an ATF form 3 or 4 as Curio & Relic eligible. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is extremely fine as re-finished with some very light, discernible pitting underneath the finish on the magazine housing assembly. Bolt and recoil mechanism are in the white. Magazines do not appear to be refinished and are very fine as is the magazine pouch. Mechanics are fine. Bore is extremely fine, shiny and bright. Wood has some slight dings and handling marks with a repaired crack at the upper left where it meets the rear of receiver as well as a small chip on the left side just forward of the rear sight. Neither of these are affected by recoil nor affect serviceability. This is one very attractive Erma exhibiting the finest standards of workmanship as one would expect from this era. 52359-2 JWK55 (8,000-15,000)
