manufactured April May 1945

btw, there is a MKb 42(H) in quest of a new owner somewhere in the neighbourhood

Edmond, does anyone still make 7.92x33 ammo? Just curious...

Prvi Partizan of former Yugoslavia manufactures both the complete rounds and components, they are availble in US.

Ed, is that MP44 YOURS?

I haven't seen anything like that outside of a museum!

Yes, usually they look more like this one I sold recently on consignment for someone who inherited it.





The ab45 one was in an exceptionally good shape, it is now on the wall of a happy collector, deactivated. Some divorce lawyers are richer.
that's the reason I sale my collection including some rare militaria. My original blue grey Luftwaffe 1938 Fallschirmjäger helmet is now on your side of the pond.

I had some personal messages to inquire about ownership of SMGs and select fire here in France.
It is prohibited but my MoD licence allows me to buy them and to convert them for resale once they are semi automatic.
If someone inherits such a weapon, I register it and convert it.
The person applies for a fireams ownership authorisation and gets it back legally. This is a lengthy process.

PS: the quality of pictures of the ab 45 and the romanian PSL are nowhere near the quality of my other pictures.
The cost of the camera and lenses used by the journalist who took the pictures is enough to pay for a small car..

I Really injoyed the photos Edmund. Thank you very much.

Very nice weapon. I saw one here last year that was a "last ditch" effort still in the white.

Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome, guys. I was sure it would be of interest for many members here. I regret I did not take pictures of everything I laid my hands on all these years.

We'll host a glass here also to the ones "I wish I had never sold/traded off, you know, my whatever that I once owned." Oh, the pain of it, makes one shed a tear.

I have passed this level now, no more regret and moving on. Maybe because one of my friends says that it is easier to list what I did not shoot or own. Not having taken pictures is the only regret.
