NFA Fully Transferable Machine Gun - Serial no.
800186, 9 mm cal., 8 inch round bbl., matte black finish,
metal stock. Manufactured by Douglas Oefinger of Stamford,
Connecticut, this is a fine commercial production version of the

on the left side of the ventilated tube, faint Sterling markings on the magazine well, right handed three position “A R S” selector switch, checkered grip, and an
underfolding stock. Included with the lot are an extra magazine, extra recoil spring assembly, extra ejector and extra bolt.
CONDITION: Excellent, with 99% plus original matte black finish, showing minor wear and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent. NOTE: This weapon
is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) under the
provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
Estimate: 8,500 - 13,000
LOT 1361
Beretta Model 38/42 Submachine Gun,
Class III/NFA C&R Fully Transferable
Machine Gun - Serial no. CP6940, 9 mm cal., 9 inch round bbl.,
blue finish, hardwood stock. Manufactured in Italy, the Model 38/42
submachine gun is a simplification of the Model 38A, featuring a bolt with a fixed firing pin and an integral
dual vent muzzle brake in the non-fluted barrel. A staple close-combat weapon of the Italians in World War II,
the 38/42 used extruded tubing and stamped components like many other Axis and Allied SMGs, but uses a
dual trigger mechanism, with the front trigger fitted with a disconnector for semi-automatic fire, and the rear trigger running in full automatic. Blade front and two-leaf rear sights, with the maker’s
marks on top of the receiver, caliber marking on the barrel, stamped and welded magazine well, and a smooth pistol grip stock with grasping grooves and a brown leather sling. The standard Beretta
address is on top of the receiver, with the left side of the trigger housing marked “MANCHESTER ARMS/CLINTON OHIO” in electric pencil. Magazine absent.
CONDITION: Fine as reactivated, with 50% of the original blue finish, showing a brown patina on the barrel, areas of gray patina, and scattered spotting and scratching. The barrel and bolt have been
replaced, and a lower section of the front of the receiver ground away (exposing the barrel threads) to eliminate a deactivation weld. The stock is very good, with mild dents and scuffs. Mechanically
excellent. NOTE: This weapon is a National Firearms Act (NFA), fully transferable Class 3, which is registered with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, (BATFE) that is classified as a
“Curios or Relic” as defined in 27 CFR, 478.11. These weapons are still subject to the provisions of 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44 and 27 CFR part 479.
Estimate: 8,500 - 13,000
