This is an original Soviet WWII PPSh-41 inert display submachine gun assembled from an original \u003cstrong\u003e1944\u003c\/strong\u003e dated matching numbered parts set and accompanied by a stick magazine. Many of the surviving original components are serial numbered \u003cstrong\u003eВИ 7561\u003c\/strong\u003e, including rear receiver tang, trigger guard, barrel, and stock. It retains much of its original blued finish and remains an especially well marked display example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Russian PPsh-41 display Machine Pistol is built on a BATF compliant non-firing display receiver. \u003cstrong\u003eThe upper receiver has had an area replaced, and the last 6 inches of the receiver have been completely replaced with solid steel bar stock. Additionally, the bolt has been demilitarized and welded into the forward position per BATF specifications.\u003c\/strong\u003e That makes this display gun totally legal to own without a license of any kind. Every part on this display gun is original manufacture other than the portions of the receiver that have been replaced (as required by BATF). The receiver latch and hinge have been welded closed, so there is no way to open the receiver at all. This makes a perfect display piece of an exceptionally hard to find WWII Sub-Machine Gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top of the receiver is marked with a \u003cstrong\u003eSTAR in a SHIELD\u003c\/strong\u003e, the marking of Factory No. 367 NKV, located in Vyatskie Polyany. This was the primary and most commonly encountered manufacturer of the PPSh-41 during World War II. Just above the barrel securing tab bolt it is marked with a \u003cstrong\u003e1944\u003c\/strong\u003e date, while the top of the tab itself is marked with inspection number \u003cstrong\u003e7\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is unfortunately no serial number on the upper receiver due to how it was demilitarized. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe receiver tang to the rear of the latch is also marked with the full serial number \u003cstrong\u003eВИ 7561\u003c\/strong\u003e, which matches the marking on the trigger guard, and also on the right side of the barrel. The stock is also stamped with \u003cstrong\u003eВИ 7561\u003c\/strong\u003e on the left side, though it is a bit faint. That makes this a desirable \"MATCHING\" example, put together from a parts set that was made by demilitarizing a single PPSh-41, and didn't have parts mixed up afterwards. This example comes complete with the stick magazine, which will be deactivated where required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel bore remains unobstructed and retains strong rifling. The chamber is also visibly intact, including the surface that originally interfaced with the bolt. These observations describe only the surviving barrel component and do not indicate functional capability because the receiver and bolt have been permanently altered as described above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden stock remains in very good condition with no major cracks noted and only light service and handling wear. The butt trap door is present and operates freely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverall condition is very good, with strong original finish, matching observed serial numbers, clear 1944 date, intact stock, and extensive surviving original Soviet components. The replaced receiver section, approximately 6\" solid steel rear receiver section, permanently welded forward bolt, and welded receiver latch and hinge are all fully disclosed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 1944 date, factory marking, matching serial number ВИ 7561 across many major surviving components, original blued finish, intact stock, and included stick magazine, this is a strong Soviet WWII PPSh-41 display piece. It would fit especially well in a Soviet infantry weapons, Eastern Front, WWII small arms, or inert military display collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory of the PPSh-41\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003eThe PPSh-41 (Russian: \u003cstrong\u003eП\u003c\/strong\u003eистоле́т-\u003cstrong\u003eп\u003c\/strong\u003eулемёт \u003cstrong\u003eШ\u003c\/strong\u003eпа́гина, tr. \u003cstrong\u003eP\u003c\/strong\u003eistolét-\u003cstrong\u003ep\u003c\/strong\u003eulemyót \u003cstrong\u003eSh\u003c\/strong\u003epágina, lit. 'Shpagin's machine pistol') is a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgi Shpagin as a cheap, simplified alternative to the PPD-40. Common nicknames are \"Pe-Pe-Sha\" from its three-letter prefix and \"Papasha\" meaning daddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPSh was a magazine-fed selective fire submachine gun using an open-bolt, blowback action. Made largely of stamped steel, it could be loaded with either a box or drum magazine, and fired the 7.62×25mm Tokarev pistol round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPSh saw extensive combat use during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the major infantry weapons of the Soviet armed forces during World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46011007074373,"sku":"ONAC26B028","price":2195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/6FB71F7F-A909-4CB4-82FA-2B0F7E06E9EE.jpg?v=1792011641","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-soviet-wwii-1944-dated-ppsh-41-inert-display-machine-pistol-with-stick-magazine-serial-no-7561","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
