1968 MP5 with no serial number

[mrclark303]

Afternoon all,

Not a Fal I know, but didn't know were to post this one!

A few weeks back I bought a rare old spec deactivated early MP5 of 1968 manufacture... Itself an interesting piece.

However this example has no serial number, or German proof markings, not removed, just never there!

I have an idea it was provided to Enfield as a tool room sample prior to their license manufacture..

It has all the correct early production features and the HK markings along the top rib are also correct.

It was Birmingham Proofed in 1988 (this tallys with the closure of the Enfield site) and subsequently deactivated in 1990.

Looking at the bore closely (clear slotted barrel) there is little to no signs of use and the original blue finish is almost pristine.

Anyone seen any other examples un-serialed??

Ideas anyone?Attachment 64413Attachment 64412
