S000492 ERMA SUB MACHINE GUN (Inert/Deactivated).
Rare WW2 Erma EMP submachine gun. The EMP was originally conceived by weapons designer Heinrich Vollmer in the 1920s but after little sale success he sold his intellectual property rights to Erma who were much better suited to continue with its development. After a few modifications the gun was then sold to military and police forces. Those that were for German consumption had a distinctive bolt "Police" safety catch - as can be seen on this example which was a design requirement specifically for them. A great many of these guns were issued to the SS. 20 round magazine (also de-activated). During the 1930s Erma supplied the EMP to Spain during the Spanish Civil War (1936 to 1939). After the Spanish Civil War ended around 3,250 were confiscated by the French authorities at the border by fleeing Spanish republican fighters. The French then re-issued these to their own forces shortly after this they were then captured/surrendered to the Nazis after their successful invasion in May 1940. Older "Cock & Click" de-activation. Rare gun!
