Hi
New comer on this forum, I'd like to get your opinion on this PPSH 41
Does it come from WW2 or it is a post-war fabrication?
What are these markings with a "crown" ?
Thank you in advance
Eric

The star is Russian, AA probably means allied armament they produced some guns for Inter Ordinance a few years ago. Is it semi auto? Don't know what crown
means , it may be a proof mark?

"neutralisation markings from state office"
What state office? Electropencil markings are not original and as stated, probably added when weapon was deactivated. "EK" is part of the serial no. It is WWII Russian 1943 PPSh. |

Hi Shpagin
Thank you for your answer AA and crown ...are neutralisation markings from the French state office (Saint-Etienne). I just bought this gun with 2 rounded magasins and all cleaning tools for 350 euros. |

We did not know you are in France. Is your rifle semi auto or full auto?

Just wondering are there any restictions in France on a fully functional rifle such as the PPSH- 41? Here in the US a full auto is legal if you meet the requirements for ownership and pay a 200.00 fee. |

I guess we are fortunate here in the US to be able to own rifles like the PPSH-41 and others.I am currently getting a RPD built from a Polish parts kit.
Should be done by late January. It is a belt fed semiauto. There is a panic buy here in the US because of the new president. He might impose some restrictions?
