FBP M48 Portuguese Machine Gun Deactivated 9mm - Made in 1948

There is a RESERVE set on this unit of $600.

FBP is a 9 mm submachine gun originally developed from a design first conceived in 1940 by
Gonçalves Cardoso, an officer of artillery in the Portuguese Army. The onset of World War II halted
development of the weapon, which was further modified and put into production in 1948.

This is a fully deactivated M48 - Does not cock and click. Great for display.

Overall condition is good - Has used condition with many small scratches in the original painted finish.

Comes with pinned 30 rd Magazine and sling.

The submachine gun was produced by the Fábrica de Braço de Prata weapon factory at Lisbon,
whose initials FBP gave the name to the weapon, adopted for service as the m/948 in 1948.
It utilized the large bolt and telescoping operating spring of the German MP40 submachine gun,
and the collapsible wire stock of the American M3 submachine gun.
Unusual for submachine guns, the m/948 was fitted with a barrel sleeve with a mount to accept the
standard Portuguese Mauser bayonet.
