Attractive German World War II MG34 with receiver manufactured by Waffenwerke Brunn (WaA63) with “dot” (Waffenwerke Bruun) marked 1942 dated shroud and “pem” marked top cover. Mismatched serial numbers with exception of the wood butt and buttstock cup which match “9453e” (nice to see a genuine original German marked World War II wood butt for a change). Accessories include 4 50-round unmarked non-disintegrating belt segments and anti-aircraft sight. Neither the bolt nor barrel match the gun’s serial number, however, according to the consigner who is an advanced and long-time machine gun enthusiast, this gun runs well. This gun’s condition shows evidence of being a well-functioning gun with smooth action and properly maintained moving parts. Electronic registry indicates "Imported NFA firearm" as manufacturer. Incoming Form 4 indicates "GERMAN" as manufacturer. CONDITION: Overall appearance and finish is fine to extremely fine with majority of original blue finish thinning to a pleasing gray patina. Handgrip assembly has less finish than other metal parts. Wood buttstock has typical dings and handling marks but is very serviceable. Bore is extremely fine, shiny, and bright. Bolt is also extremely fine. Mechanics are crisp and smooth. This is a select-fire machine gun. When it comes to machined steel machine guns of World War II, the MG-34 is the most attractive and definitive belt-fed gun. It is one of the most sought-after of the World War II German machine guns by collectors. THIS IS A NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT ITEM AND REQUIRES BATF APPROVAL PRIOR TO TRANSFER.
