The PPS (Pistolet-Pulemyot Sudayeva"), is a family of Soviet submachine guns chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, developed by Alexei Sudayev as a low-cost personal defence weapon for reconnaissance units, vehicle crews and support service personnel. The PPS and its variants were used extensively by the Red Army during World War II and were later adopted by the armed forces of several countries of the former Warsaw Pact as well as its many African and Asian allies. This is an excellent Cold War dated Soviet example. Its metal work is undamaged and excellent throughout with all original blue finish. The top of the breech is stamped with number 6 within circle (Soviet Block Factory Plant number 6) together with 1952 date and serial number BM15770. It is complete with its original folding skeleton stock, curved box magazine which has a struck out number, stamped number 06252 and etched number 03195. It has undamaged composite grips and fixed sling bars fitted with original webbing & leather sling. Deactivated to early UK specification in 1995, the weapon cocks and dry fires and the magazine can be removed. The price includes deactivation certificate and UK delivery. Sn 21994:7
