This is a good example of an WWII Russian manufactured PPSH-41 submachine gun that is fully operational, and fully transferable submachine gun. These were probably the most emblematic Russian submachine guns used during WWII and then again up through the 1950s. They were manufactured in the millions and are pictured in all of the wartime Russian operation/battle field war movies, with any example being very scarce today as all remained in Russia after the war. They fired from an open bolt, using the standard 7.62x 25mm pistol cartridge with an 900 rds/min cyclic rate of fire. The top of the receiver is stamped with "C/1942/CU871" indicating this weapon was manufactured at factory letter "C". It has the simple stamped two position rear sight with the post front sight. It has an all blue finish with an original WWII hardwood stock with cyrillic markings on the left side. It is complete with one fifty (50 rd) drum magazine.

Very good with 40% of the arsenal blue finish still remaining overall with the exposed metal finish having a silver/gray patina finish with more blue in the protected areas. The stock is also in good condition with its original finish showing numerous handling marks and pressure dents on the sides.
