Tom E Gun Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) This MP40 will soon be on its way to me. I recently sold a well worn MP38, so this is its replacement: SN: 8614 J is a MP 40 built in 1941http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/MP-40%2001_zpshhhbw9ud.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/MP-40%2007_zpswkix8yey.jpghttp://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/MP-40%2009_zpsbwy6s7sz.jpg Edited February 12, 2016 by Tom E Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom E Gun Posted February 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 The MP40 arrived in the mail on Monday. I finally have had a chance to take a few pictures: http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/IMG_6897_zpscpqd8ucd.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/IMG_6905_zpsj8sidbtj.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/IMG_6906_zpsfjs7ztgd.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/IMG_6907_zpsrpakb4ty.jpg http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y539/MarxF350/Firearms/MP%2040/IMG_6908_zps7tfgikaf.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Henley Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Looks great! Where did it come from? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Gun Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks Robert. This was a full auto, vet bring back, owned by Joe Salter (a Canadian who has a dealer licence to own prohibited firearms) as part of his personal collection. I purchased it and had it deactivated by Collectors Source. They did a decent job on the deactivation, but i am not very happy with all the vise jaw marks on the gun that were not there prior to deactivation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Dudley Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Looks like 8614 "J" (old German Alphabet), which is the 10th letter of that alphabet--each letter designates 10,000 units, with the first sequence of 0001-9999 with no letter, so this should be the 118614 th MP40 produced by C.G. Haenel, Waffen- u. Fahrradfabrik in 1941http://www.medalnet.net/mpforty/mpforty_manufacturers.htm(If I'm reading the "letter" code correctly.)Very nice.

Tom E Gun Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Thank you Uncle D, I did some research on the meaning of the various marks and numbers, but somehow missed the relevance of the "j". I had figured out that fxo = Haenel ...and cnd = Krupp (subcontractor) ...and Eagle/WaA 262 = cnd I also looking into the mag that came with the MP40:kur 42 & Eagle/WaA 815 = Steyr, type B ribbed The one mag I kept from my MP38:98E 41 & Eagle/WaA 815 = Steyr, type A, after ribbed http://www.mp40.nl/index.php?page=magazines Edited February 12, 2016 by Tom E Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
