bnz 43 SSZZA4

I picked up this bnz43 a little over a week ago. I've had my eye on this one for well over 20 years and my buddy finally let it go.

Well, I'm jealous

 

[waffenmeister]

That was well worth the wait!

 

[mrfarb]

Wow, bet you are happy right now!

 

[Slowburn]

What an amazing rifle and condition is great too!

 

[mike radford]

Wow, what an example. I smell a sticky. Bet you won't be upgrading that example. NICE. Thanks for posting that beauty.

Very nice , looks to be in superb condition . Just shows what a person can accomplish by being patient. A person that waits 20 yrs. IMHO is as disciplined and focused as a collector can be. Congratulations Peter on a great SSZZA4 . Best Regards.

An exception example, - I agree with Dave on your patience and resolve!

 

[ugafx4]

I can not stop looking at the photos, wow.

It's very close in serial to the one Bruce posted 5 years ago: http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?50-ssZZA4-bnz43&p=106

It's also close in serial to the one posted on Gunboards awhile back: http://forums.gunboards.com/showthr...one-tell-me-what-I-have-here&highlight=sszza4

These must have been captured brand new and unissued- I've been told by Czechs that they were assembled in Prague at the SS depot there.

Peter,
You weren't kidding, that rifle is magnificent! It was well worth the wait. Congratulations.

I'm not knowledgeable on SSZA4 rifles. Why are some of the parts electro pencil numbered and not stamped?

 

[Stan]

Wow! Great looking rifle. Congratulations!

I believe they are actually acid etched.

Hopefully someone can jump in and tell me if I am wrong and why they did it.
