DEACTIVATED 1953 DATED PPS-52 SMG & ACCESSORIES (NEW EU DEACTIVATION)

This is a very nice Deactivated 1953 dated PPS-52 which comes with 3 x magazines, magazine pouch, cleaning rod, oil bottle and sling, this was deactivated in 2021 so it has a moving cocking handle under spring pressure and the magazine is able to be removed. This one has a faint layer of rust which will clean up nicely. UK Sales only.

In 1952 the vast majority of guns we see are made by HCP/ Circle 6. By this time there is no HCP marking, like the prototypes. Now it is an encircled 6 and the numbers are NOT stamped into the lower. Quality is all the same as their prototypes if not better. We see a lot more inspection stamps on these guns than usual. These serial numbers start as AB, BM, PK, MA. They made a lot of the total, not the most but a good 2nd. Notable that in late 1952 they changed the HCP name to the Joseph Stalin Metal Works.
