PRE WWII ERMA MODEL EMP EARLY TYPE. SN 10190. Cal. 9mm luger. Apparent export model. Very few identifying marks other than serial numbers. Paperwork illustrates point of manufacture as Italy. Cocking handle is uncharacteristic of typical EMP. Also different is the absence of the standard safety mechanism. All exposed metal possesses blue finish. Drift windage adjustable front sight. Tangent rear sight(graduated 50-1000 meters), 1-pc stock with vertical foregrip under action rear of magazine well. Sling attachment right side of bbl ahead of ejection port, and on right side of stock on rear. PROVENANCE: Stern Collection. CONDITION: Currently unserviceable. Although paperwork indicates firearm is a registered transferable machine gun, at some point the chamber was plugged. All other mechanical components seem to function correctly including open bolt mechanism in semi, and in full, when cycled by hand. Bluing finish on metal is very thin on some spots. Wooden stock has several nicks and dings, characteristic of armory storage. 4-34663 JZ48 (6,000-10,000)
