![]() ![]() WW2 German STG44/MP44 complete dug up relic, excellent example: ![]() Please check out the examples below - we usually have both MP40/MP44 deactivated and dug up relics abvailable: As we know, the MP40 was in use for the whole of WW2 by all parts of the German army, the MP44 tended to be a favorite amongst SS Battalians who could pull rank and pretty much get what gun they wanted. Folk lore has it that the AK47 was developed from the Mp44 but it might have inspired the use of the round and the mag but the rest of the gun is very different when you take them apart. The rarer MP44/STG44 was totally different - developed by a bit of a cock up by the Luftwaffe accidentally developing and then ordering the ammunition first, then having to come up with a use for the intermediate round. Both were the German armies machine pistol of choice during WW2, with the MP40 having been born out of several earlier MP derivatives. No collection can be complete without an MP40 or its big brother, the MP44 also known as the STG44.
