I don't know how rare one of these would be, but this piece of kit is in amazing order! To a collector it would be worth every $. I'm assuming here Herr Schmeisser is same of MP40 Schmeisser fame?

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!

That's interesting. There is one made today that looks similar & sold by Diana- and it's called DIANA: MAUSER 98. It is avaiable in both spring piston as well as PCP.

I don’t mean to be rude to the air gun guys but I’d rather have your Merkel Double rifle for same money.
