We were able to obtain just a few Cold War Polish PPS-43 PM wz. 43 parts sets that our master armorers have built into inert non-firing display submachine guns. Built from all original parts on an original BATF compliant non-firing display receivers, these are 100% legal display Sub-Machine guns.

Comes complete with an original magazine (a non-functional magazine will be substituted where prohibited).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Following World War 2 (1939-1945), the Polish military arsenal was rebuilt with largely Soviet-originated weapons, including the PPS-43 Submachine Gun (SMG) series. This started with the PM wz. 43, a license-made Polish version of the famous Soviet PPS-43 Submachine Gun line, which began production in 1946. The PM in the designation stood for \"Pistolet Maszynowy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater in 1952 a modified form, the PM wz. 43\/52, was revealed to supersede it. This model retained all of the form and function of the original Soviet offering but was given specific alterations to suit Polish Army requirements as well as local industry. These included the addition of a wooden butt stock with the provision for a cleaning kit, and a sling swivel further back, which would better control and aim. However, the gains in accuracy were offset by gains in weight, so the PM wz. 43 and PM wz. 43\/52 were produced concurrently for years. From the period of 1952 until 1955, the Lucznik Arms Factory of Radom, Poland pushed out over 111,000 PPS and PPS-related submachine guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis legendary submachine gun design was developed in Leningrad while the Germans had the city under siege during WW2. The designer, A. I. Sudarev, wanted a gun that could be manufactured with the resources available in the city. The result was the PPS 43, which has very few machined parts, depended on simple stampings, welding, and riveting for its construction. The design was so successful that it was adopted by the Soviet Army and used extensively during the rest of the war. These are seen extensively in pictures from the WWII eastern front and are an important part of a WW2 collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS or \"Pistolet-pulemyot Sudaeva\", in English: \"Sudaev's submachine-gun\") was a family of Soviet submachine guns chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, developed by Alexei Sudayev as a low-cost personal defense weapon for reconnaissance units, vehicle crews and support service personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS and its variants were used extensively by the Red Army during World War II and were later adopted by the armed forces of several countries of the former Warsaw Pact as well as its many African and Asian allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS was created in response to a Red Army requirement for a compact and lightweight weapon with similar accuracy and projectile energy to the Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun widely deployed at the time, with reduced rate of fire, produced at lower cost and requiring less manpower, particularly skilled manpower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSudaev was ordered by the State Commission for Armaments to perfect for large-scale production the sub-machine gun design of lieutenant I.K. Bezruchko-Vysotsky from the Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy, who had created two prototypes in 1942; the second of these was the basis of Sudaev's gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring design, emphasis was placed on simplifying production and eliminating most machining operations; most of the weapon's parts were sheet-steel stamped. These measures reduced the number of machined components to a bare minimum, cutting down machining time by more than half, to 2.7 hours of machining instead of 7.3 hours for the PPSh-41. There were also savings of over 50% in raw steel usage, down to 6.2 kg instead of 13.9 kg, and fewer workers were required to manufacture and assemble the parts. Thanks to the improvements in production efficiency, the Soviet planners estimated that the new gun would have allowed an increase in monthly submachine gun output from 135,000 units to 350,000 weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrototypes were field tested between 26 April and 12 May 1942; the evaluation commission's report was largely favorable, but still proposed some minor improvements mostly aimed at strengthening the gun's structure. By July, Shpagin had finished his own improved model (PPSh-2), and it was pitted in field trials against the PPS, which was found superior in most respects: accuracy, reliability, maneuverability.[4] (This was apparently a large scale contest, in which 20 designs participated. On July 28, 1942 GAU head N.D. Yakovlev and his aide Ivan Novikov presented Sudaev's gun to the State Defense Committee for approval. The firearm was accepted into service as the PPS-42 (Russian: ????????-??????? ???????—??? or Pistolet Pulemyot Sudayeva model of 1942). The weapon was put into small-scale production during the Siege of Leningrad; mass production did not commence until early 1943 at the Sestroretsk Arsenal (over 45,000 weapons were produced before being replaced by the improved PPS-43). The factory in charge for the pilot production starting in December 1942 was the Sestroretsk Tool Factory. The first series guns were presented for personal inspection to Andrei Zhdanov and Leonid Govorov in the same month. The full-scale production began in 1943, and the official count of PPS-42 guns produced was 46,572. Most were used during the military trials by the soldiers of the Leningrad Front. The military trials officially took place between January and April 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the massive investment already made in machinery for PPSh-41 production, which was already being produced in more than a million pieces per year, it turned out it would have been uneconomical to completely abandon its production in favor of the PPS. By end of the war some two million PPS-43 submachine guns were made. Due to the oversupply of the Soviet army with submachine guns after the war, production of the PPS in the Soviet Union ceased in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last two years of the war, Sudaev continued to experiment with improvements for his submachine gun. Six of his later prototype models, made in 1944 and 1945, are found in the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps. These have variations in bolt shape and weight, as well as more obvious outward differences like a wooden, non-folding stock or a folding bayonet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS remained in service with some Soviet forces until the mid-1950s. Among the last to relinquish it were crews of armored vehicles and the Naval Infantry. Some WWII-era weapons found their way to the Chinese People's Liberation Army and were subsequently captured by UN forces in the Korean War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"No","offer_id":25652824453,"sku":"RR4301","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes","offer_id":25652824581,"sku":"RR4301","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/on2814__1_1.jpg?v=1601418106"},{"product_id":"original-wwii-german-mg-15-receiver-cam","title":"Original WWII German MG 15 Receiver Cam","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal Item: German made MG 15 reciver cam.

Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of German-occupied France (and later Europe) from NSDAP control, and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlanning for the operation began in 1943. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, codenamed Operation Bodyguard, to mislead the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. The weather on D-Day was far from ideal and the operation had to be delayed 24 hours; a further postponement would have meant a delay of at least two weeks as the invasion planners had requirements for the phase of the moon, the tides, and the time of day that meant only a few days each month were deemed suitable. Adolf AH placed German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in command of German forces and of developing fortifications along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an Allied invasion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe amphibious landings were preceded by extensive aerial and naval bombardment and an airborne assault—the landing of 24,000 US, British, and Canadian airborne troops shortly after midnight. Allied infantry and armored divisions began landing on the coast of France at 06:30. The target 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Strong winds blew the landing craft east of their intended positions, particularly at Utah and Omaha. The men landed under heavy fire from gun emplacements overlooking the beaches, and the shore was mined and covered with obstacles such as wooden stakes, metal tripods, and barbed wire, making the work of the beach-clearing teams difficult and dangerous. Casualties were heaviest at Omaha, with its high cliffs. At Gold, Juno, and Sword, several fortified towns were cleared in house-to-house fighting, and two major gun emplacements at Gold were disabled, using specialized tanks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Allies failed to achieve any of their goals on the first day. Carentan, St. Lô, and Bayeux remained in German hands, and Caen, a major objective, was not captured until 21 July. Only two of the beaches (Juno and Gold) were linked on the first day, and all five beachheads were not connected until 12 June; however, the operation gained a foothold which the Allies gradually expanded over the coming months. German casualties on D-Day have been estimated at 4,000 to 9,000 men.

Unlike most tin signs, this sign is designed and made in the United States using 24 gauge American steel and a process known as sublimation, where the image is baked into a powder coating for a durable and long lasting finish. We then perform a vintage process by hand to give this sign an aged look and feel. The edges of this sign are rounded for extra rigidity and the corners are drilled and riveted for easy hanging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a high quality eye-catching addition to any WW2 display!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Made Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26156862661,"sku":"ASV171","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/asv171__01.jpg?v=1599526516"},{"product_id":"french-wwi-adrian-helmet-era-flaming-bomb-brass-badge","title":"French WWI Adrian Helmet Era Flaming Bomb Brass Badge","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Made Item: French WWI Era Flaming Bomb Badge, silhouetted as found on WWI issue Adrian helmets, constructed from brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 2 3\/8\" x 1 3\/4\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Made Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":26157043333,"sku":"MF1017","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/mf1017__1.jpg?v=1628130486"},{"product_id":"u-s-wwii-british-thompson-smg-action-cover-m1-m1a1-m1928","title":"U.S. WWII British Thompson SMG Action Cover- M1, M1A1, M1928","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew Made Item: Designed for use with both M-1928 and M1\/M1A1 models; these were introduced by the British, who had invested heavily in the Thompson for use in Europe and the Far East. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed of tan heavy canvas, reinforced leather edges, with three brass securing snaps and eyelets, may also be used with thongs.

This is the classic \"bomber pilot\" headgear, worn by USAAF pilots in Europe and the Pacific! Actually, this was the standard Army\/AAF officer's dress cap, worn by pilots and non-pilots alike, but pilots gave this cap their own unique twist. Normally, this cap had stiffeners -- a support piece behind the cap device and a wire around the inside top perimeter to maintain the cap's round shape. These kept the cap in its proper, regulation military shape and angle. However, since bomber pilots wore headsets over their caps during flights, they would remove the wire stiffener to make headset wear more comfortable, causing the sides of the caps to become crushed. Eventually, the caps retained their floppy \"crushed\" look, giving the pilot who wore it the look of a seasoned veteran. The crush cap identified its wearer as an experienced pro, and was as much a part of his identity as his leather flight jacket. The crush cap look quickly became popular with ground army officers and general officers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IMA Crush Caps recreate that \"50 Mission\" look without having to fly 50 missions.
