the mpi 38/40 schmeisser fame is wrong

this was stamped on the magazine because this was a hugo schmeisser design. this submachine gun was developt by heinrich vollmer.
hugo schmeisser was the designer of the first submachine gun, the mpi 18 and

he was the designer of the first real assault rifle, the the sturmgewehr 44.
the soviets displace him into the worker's paradise after the war where he was very near the developtment of the AK 47.
but the soviets swear black and blue later that schmeisser did nothing there and being to stupid to clean up the work shop.

and yes, the price is a complete surprise
the pistols are rare today but not so rare until christmas
lucky seller!
