Hard to tell from the quality of the pic, but it looks a but like an MP40:

Possibly a US M3 "grease gun"?

[regress]

Might it be french possibly?

It appears close to an MP 40 I agree, but something just doesn't seem right about where the barrel meets the receiver for this to be the case. (I fully admit, I might be very wrong on this. haha)

It looks like a French Hotchkiss "Type Universal" in 9mm

[Skip]

RCS is correct.

[regress]

Amazing, I reckon you're right sir.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

I'm late to this party, but I would have said French, as well.

Defo a Hotchkiss universal, it has a bit of a party trick in that the mag and the stock fold into a pretty tight para trooper gun.
