GUN FALL 2017
The live portion of this session begins on Tuesday, October 31, 2017.
GERMAN WWII ERMA EMP MACHINE GUN (C&R). ERMA EMP 13409 9MM MODERN; NFA; C&R Cal. 9mm. 9-1/2" bbl. "As found" example of a German Erma EMP machine gun from an estate. Exterior numbers do not match. Bolt is from a later gun, however, it appears serviceable. Magazine housing not pinned to receiver and rotates freely. Rear of bbl and chamber show evidence of grinding, making it clear that this was at one time a de-activated gun. Face of chamber has been removed. Front sight blade not present. Includes one orig mismatched 30 rnd magazine. The EMP was a well made machine gun which saw use in German police as well as military units. Nazi eagle proof mark discernible on top of receiver. Hand struck numbers on receiver tube and magazine well. Original housing numbers over-struck as it is evidently a replacement incidental to the "in-progress" attempt to re-activate. 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 good, with a mixture of refinished and orig finish. Mechanics need attention. Bolt does not move freely within receiver. Magazine housing not pinned and swivels freely. Rear of bbl and chamber ground with a tool. Bore is fine and bright. Bolt handle is a replacement. Wood is in very good condition with some dings, nicks and handling marks. Bbl shroud rotates with friction around bbl. This gun has the makings of a functional ERMA EMP once placed in the hands of a competent gunsmith. 52520-10 JWK73 (3,500-5,500)
