Hi Guys
had the chance the other day to buy a first pattern "slab sided" mp 40 ,the only thing is was the date bnz 43. Now I have seen earlier bnz second pattern mp40s with the ribbed mag housing and thought it strange to see a weapon of this type with a quite late date and matching numbers too with the correct mp 38 bolt. Has anyone else seen one with 43 dates.
Regards
Sean
