Watch the American Rifleman Television "I Have This Old Gun" video segment above to learn about the SOLA Super submachine gun.
Following the liberation of Luxembourg from its Nazi stranglehold in 1944, the country faced a time of economic rebuilding. Luxembourg wanted to create an export economy, so it turned to firearms. It was then, in 1953, that designers went to work to come up with a new submachine gun. After a failed attempt at improving the British Sten, Société Luxembourgeoise d'Armes S.A. came up with the SOLA Super submachine gun, a copy of the Belgian Vigneron SMG.
To this day, the SOLA Super and SOLA Leger are the only firearms to have been produced in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The Luxembourgeois military employed the SMGs, which were in use until the 1960s, but couldn’t compete with post-war surplus of British Sten submachine guns available on the market. As for Luxembourg’s small-arms export business, the venture lead to contract with several African countries, but was short-lived.
