Original Cold War Soviet PPsh-41 Display Machine Pistol Serial 4386 with Drum Magazine Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. These have become very difficult to find, and this is one of the best marked examples we have ever had! This is a great Russian PPsh-41 display Machine Pistol, built on a BATF compliant non-firing dummy receiver. The lower receiver has had a portion entirely replaced by 2 inches of solid steel bar stock, and upper receiver has been welded in place. The barrel has been deactivated, and was fitted when a sleeve on the front that attaches to the front fitting.

This example comes complete with correct drum magazine (where permitted) and full wood stock. Serial number ЗГ / 4386 is stamped on the receiver tang, with ЗГ 4386 on the trigger guard, and on the underside of the wooden stock, making this at least a “partially matching” display gun. There are other numbers stamped on the barrel jacket and barrel, but they are non matching. There is also the U.S. importer marking on the left side of the barrel jacket by the hinge.

This example is really in great shape, and is made using some of the original deactivated internals, so the gun does not look “empty” inside. There are no cracks in the stock, which looks great. With the magazine this really has a great look!

A great display piece, ready to add to your cold war collection!

History of the PPSh-41:
The PPSh-41 (Russian: Пистоле́т-пулемёт Шпа́гина, tr. Pistolét-pulemyót Shpágina, lit. ‘Shpagin’s machine pistol’) is a Soviet submachine gun designed by Georgi Shpagin as a cheap, simplified alternative to the PPD-40. Common nicknames are “Pe-Pe-Sha” from its three-letter prefix and “Papasha” meaning daddy.

The PPSh was a magazine-fed selective fire submachine gun using an open-bolt, blowback action. Made largely of stamped steel, it could be loaded with either a box or drum magazine, and fired the 7.62×25mm Tokarev pistol round.

The PPSh saw extensive combat use during World War II and the Korean War. It was one of the major infantry weapons of the Soviet armed forces during World War II.
