MP43 markings question


Recommended Posts

The COS stamp is for Merz-Werke which was the sub contractor that made the receiver on your MP43 ( Merz-Werke made a lot of the receivers for the MP43/44/ STG44). The F stamp is actually a partial/ light strike stamp. If it had been stamped completely it would be FXO which was the code for Haenel. The 'Eagle 37' stamp is the control stamp assigned by the Waffenamt for Haenel ( and JP Sauer ). I love all the codes the Germans used for their smalls arms. It makes collecting interesting.
