Original German WW2 MP40 Ersatz Receiver with Integral Grip

Original German MP40 Ersatz receiver with integral grip, manufactured during the later stages of World War II. Unlike the earlier MP40 design with a detachable bakelite pistol grip assembly, this late-war variant features the integral stamped steel grip frame, introduced to simplify and speed up production.

This example is an authentic battlefield relic recovered after decades in the ground. It displays heavy corrosion, pitting, and significant material loss, but the distinctive profile of the late-war Ersatz receiver remains clearly identifiable. An increasingly desirable variation for collectors of German WWII small arms relics.

Condition:

• Original German WW2 MP40 Ersatz receiver
• Late-war integral grip variant
• Authentic battlefield relic
