This is a very rare example of an early WWII Schmeisser MP41 submachine gun that was manufactured by the C.G. Haenel company. The MP41 combines the MP40s tube receiver, stamped magazine well, and bolt assembly with captive recoil spring with the earlier Schmeisser-pattern selective trigger mechanism and hardwood stock. Blade front and two-leaf rear sights, with matching numbers on the barrel and receiver, and the model markings on top of the receiver. The milled triggerguard is fitted with a two-position selector switch with "D" (full) and "E" (semi) markings. Smooth pistol grip stock with forearm grasping grooves, flat steel buttplate, and a brown leather sling. Magazine absent.
