The numbers on the barrel are a font I've never seen before on an original sszza4 rifle. I'd like to see a close up of the eagle.

Any chance you could get that a little clearer? You’ll find the answer you want here. I agree with swjXE, it looks a little off. I’m a rookie though. The experts will know for sure.

IMO it’s probably legit, but probably not a matching rifle. I see possibles postwar markings on receiver. This severely affects the collectibility of it.

Jeem above the '43? Sure looks like it.

It's a post-war Hungarian Rendőrség marking.

That’s the absolute truth. I have seen this marking on other BNZ rifles (only maker I remember) and never heard it identified.
The barrel font is strange compared to other examples.

Picture sucks but the font on barrel looks correct, as does the e/SSZZA4 stamp. Would need a much better picture to say for sure.

I agree, I’m thinking about purchasing this but the man sent me Horrible pictures

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.

The fonts, especially top of “8” which is usually smaller and “9” differ. But I don’t know who built the SSZZA4 rifles.

I'd ask for quite a few more detailed photos of everything. If the guy's serious about selling it, that's his obligation.

Hope it is legit. Sure has me drooling!
