Korean War Chinese PPSH Machine Gun Dated 1952 DEWAT Boat Anchor

The Korean War Chinese PPSH Machine Gun dated 1952 is a deactivated (“DEWAT”) example of the Soviet-designed submachine gun produced by Chinese arsenals. The PPSH-41 was widely used by Chinese and North Korean forces during the Korean War, becoming a recognizable firearm of the conflict. This particular specimen, manufactured in 1952, features the typical design elements of the PPSH, including its wood stock, metal receiver, and characteristic ventilated barrel shroud. The firearm was originally chambered for the 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge and utilized a drum or stick magazine. As a DEWAT (Deactivated War Trophy), it has been rendered permanently non-functional in compliance with relevant legal standards, and is suitable for display purposes only. This item reflects the history of mid-20th-century small arms manufacturing in China, and provides a physical connection to the military matériel used during the Korean War era.
