Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. These have become very difficult to find, and this is one of the best marked examples we have ever had!. This is a great Russian PPSh-41 display Machine Pistol, built on a BATF compliant non-gun non-firing dummy receiver. It has had a portion entirely replaced by solid steel bar stock, and a replicated bolt welded in place. The barrel has also had the chamber welded up as well.
This example comes complete with correct drum magazine (where permitted) and full wood stock. The top of the receiver is marked with a STAR in a SHIELD, for the "Molot" (Hammer) Factory in Vyatskiye Polyany, Russia. This factory was the main manufacturer of the PPSh-41 Machine Pistol during and after the war. Under this marking is a 1945 date, and on the other side of the ejection port is a partial serial number, which reads P 92. We rarely see dates on these due to how they are usually demilitarized! The receiver tang to the rear of the latch is marked with the full serial number AP 9299, while the trigger group is non matching and was not remarked.
Condition is very good, with a lovely gray finish on most of the metalwork. The trigger still pulls, and the safety and selector switch move correctly as well. The top cover/receiver rear lock still functions, so you can open up and see the replicated bolt and steel block. There are no cracks in the stock, which also looks great. This really is one of the best we have seen, and it is even dated and maker marked!
A great display piece, ready to add to your collection!
History of the PPSh-41:
The PPSh-41 (Russian: Пистоле́т-пулемёт Шпа́гина, tr. Pistolét-pulemyót Shpágina, 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.
The 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.
The 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.
