This deactivated Erma EMP has "eagle/N” proof marks on top of bolt handle and on top of rear receiver. Visible numbers match on receiver, magazine housing and barrel shroud. No magazine present. Wooden stock is marked just ahead of forward hand grip with capital “H” which would indicate German Army (Heer) issue. Selector to right of trigger guard is marked with “E” & “D” for semi and full auto fire. This weapon has been deactivated by filling the chamber with weld and welding the receiver to the barrel tube within chamber area and also grinding off the face of the bolt as well as grinding off the extractor at a 45 degree angle to bolt face. Selector and safety seem to function properly but this weapon is currently unserviceable. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is extremely fine as refinished. Over 95% dark blue finish on exterior surfaces with some softness to eagle proof marks. Scratches and thinning to finish on receiver tube. Barrel has more of a matte blue finish over slight pitting. Evidence of welding and grinding where magazine well meets magazine housing. Several chips to base of front hand grip as well as numerous bruises, gouges and handling marks to stock yet it remains completely serviceable. This is an attractive piece, especially noting its proof marks, and is well worth the efforts of restoration. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER. THIS ITEM IS FULLY TRANSFERABLE ON AN ATF FORM 5 DEACTIVATED YET REMAINS CURIO AND RELIC ELIGIBLE. JWK 2020-05-095
