Thanks to giorg69, his pictures fit exactly what I wanted.

I have an other question about this part :

It appears that my part is exactly the same except there is not a hole to fix it.
On my mp40 (bnz 43), this part was sticked.
It is normal or it is a reproduction ?
The resting bar is a fix or moving part on the mp40 ?

It's not a moving part, but it's supposed to be removable if you drive the pin out.

Yours probably does have a pin hole that is clogged by adhesive.

I took away glue but there is no hole.

Hmm. Interesting. All the real ones I've seen were drilled and pinned, but that is a small number. Some may have been glued, or it may be a replacement one that the owner didn't drill out, or maybe it's a repro - I have no idea. Someone more knowledgeable of the MP40 will have to chime in methinks.

There is a ompany in the U.S. that make replica rest bars, these bars are WaAmpt stamped but don't have the hole. If I can find a link I'll post it

Here is mine. This was given to me by a British Commando Vet who carried an MP40 during the campaign in NW Europe 1944/'45.

Here are the plastic makers marks.

Cheers, Ade.

Overall view. The gun serial number can be seen, "222".

Cheers, Ade.

I think the easiest solution is to just use the bar you have, install it, locate and drill to hole and pin it in place with an appropriately sized roll-pin.
