Ppsh 41 manufacturers?

Hi all,

For the most numerous SMG ever made, manufacture information seems really rather sketchy....

Does anyone know exactly which countries actually manufactured them?

I'll start the list with the USSR!

China
Poland
North Korea
North Vietnam
Iran
Who else?

Years ago I saw a North Korean PPSH 41 that came back from the war as a trophy. My notes said three spoke wheel inside a 15mm circle stamp with Korean letters around the inside
circle. Under this stamp was 1950 than a five digit serial number. nothing marked on the wood, also without magazine

Romania





This is quite interesting about Iranian production: Iranian PPSh-41 Production During the Second World War | Silah Report

I can't find any information regarding Romania F10, any pointers welcome.

Mentioned briefly in this article below. I did see it mentioned elsewhere which I can't currently find.

ROMARM Small Arms Factories

Thanks F10, I've been hunting high and low for that information, as you say, it's only a passing reference, but it's the fist evidence I have found so far.

They manufactured them in Hungary also.

Thanks Brian, is there any definitive PPsh41 list out there on the interweb?

Not that I know of. Production is obviously limited to Communist Russia, China and Korea as well as some but not all former Eastern Bloc countries.

There is good old Wikipedia, of-course, but not everyone is a fan. Unless anyone can produce a better list, it is the best one that I know of.

Some people probably call Yugoslavia's M49 a PPSH-41, personally I wouldn't.
