Wanted:Czech made steel MP-38 submachine gun

Czech made steel MP-38 blank firing replica.I imported an SSD MP-38 replica model,too.The photo below was taken in Japan,my Czech MP-38 blank firing model.I want to colletct 2-10 models.No blank cartridges needed.This replica was manufactured in Praha.20 to 30 replicas were produced and most of them were exported to UK and Germany.No real part was used.
Also I want to get Izmash/Baikal Makarov 8mm blank firing replica models once listed on Izmash's site.

I had always been under the impression that replica firearms, Modelguns or Blank Firers built from steel were forbidden in Japan, and had been since the 1970s...
Has anything changed recently

The only other sources of blank firing MP38s I know are:

www.modelguncollctor.co.uk and forum member PPU. This photograph shows one beautiful looking replica

(As these MP38s and the Makarov you mention are Blank Firers, I'll move this post to the Blank Firer section.)

Here's one thread you may be interested in Mitsubishi...

Hi Cerwyn,

Thank you very much for your informations.

I own iron/steel made Thompson, Bergman MP-18 and AR-18 manufactured in 70s by Rocken founded by Mr.Noboru Mutobe.
Owning steel made replica guns is still legal in Japan though posession of steel made replica guns for sale purpose is prohibited.

Ukraina MP-38s are very desirable but I can't import them as they are converted real guns.

Thank you Mitsubishi, I have a better understanding of Japanese law regarding steel models and blank firers now.

Your collection sounds very impressive and interesting, perhaps one day you might be kind enough to let us see some photographs of your collection please

Even though it's blank firing only, but still it has to be deactivated before it can be shipped to Japan isn't it (I asked because if these blank firers can be used in Japan then nobody will rely on the electric-charged guns by "Big Shot" the prop gun supplier in Japan)...

But still one doubt - both "buy and sell" of steel model are prohibited in Japan (at least domestically for sure) - so will importation be exempted from the law?

A note (regarding the SSD replica mentioned above) - according to their website all the Dittrich models are also available as modelguns (dummy) so if people miss out on the Shoei (and they can afford more) they can try their hands on these...

http://www.ssd-weapon.com/engl_web/distributors.htm - no direct sales though (unlike Shoei)...so I'll try to ask for their BD42(H) and the nearest distributor for me will be the Kiwi ...
