Haenelistklasse Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Hello, I am brand new to the boards. I have been on subguns for almost 20 years or so. I have an MP40 coded 122 40. I read Frank Iannamicos book on the MP40 and he does mention fxo marked guns both a 39 and 40 coded gun but he does not mention a 122 40 coded gun. So how hard to find are these? I also talked with the guy from the mp40.nl website and he told me they are very rare. A scan of his serial database shows 6 out of 600 guns with this number. Does anyone have experience handling one of these codes? My gun is 100% matching (end cap, trigger guard, stock, mag well, barrel resting bar, barrel, front site, barell nut, receiver tube, rear site, bolt and firing pin). The finish is maybe 80-85%. It also has the slab sided mag well, claw style cocking handle and the square hook front site. The serial number on this gun is 24xx a. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Annihilator Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think you have answered your question: 122 coded 40 dated MP40's are not very common660 coded MP40 are more common, 27 codes MP40 are also quite rareA 1939 dated fxo coded MP40, sounds strange to me ?

av8tr Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 No plans to at the moment, but all things end up on the auction block sooner or later. If not by us, then by our heirs. We just try to take care of them in the meantime. Thanks for the comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 i would talk to the guy who runs the MP40 registration and add it to his list...he can answer all these # questions http://www.mp40.nl/index.php?page=serial-database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haenelistklasse Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Actually, I did talk to Alex Cruiming but I figured he is in Holland and we are in America so maybe there are more here than over there. Plus there are far more collectors here in America than in Holland. I think he told me there are like 20 or 30 collectors in Holland TOTAL. That is way scary. He explained the process and it sounded horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
