**RARE**Cold War Era Post 1947 Czechoslovakian ‘tgf’ (Zbrojovka Brno), VZ-47 (German K98) 4.5mm BB Repeating (20 Shot) Bolt Action Military Training Air Rifle. Sn 23484:30 - 23484:30
Fashioned on the 98K Mauser, manufactured at the Czech Government Arsenal of "CESKA ZBROJOVKA," this is a Czech Army military training air pellet gun. Introduced in 1935 as the Vz.35 Air Rifle these were cheap to use, silent and ideal to break in raw recruits to move onto actual firearms. In 1947 the simplified Vz.47 was introduced, which was cheaper to produce, as it removed extra features like the bayonet lug, and utilized many more stamped steel parts. The machined parts of the Vz.35 were much more labour intensive. This example has a serial number of 06301 stamped on the top of the receiver under the 'tgf' which indicates contract for the DDR (East Germany) by Zbrojovka Brno, a maker of small arms, light artillery, and motor vehicles in Brno, Czechoslovakia. It also made other products and tools, such as typewriters and early computers. The rifle's overall length is 109cm and weighs just under 4kg. The stock is wood and has the usual use related marks. The rifle shoots 4.5mm calibre balls which are loaded via a folded sheet metal cover that just slides back to reveal the loading port, which holds 20 balls. To cock the rifle you rotate the bolt handle straight up where it interfaces with another part of a longer lever when pulled back. The bolt is pivoted at its base and rocks inside the action, pulling the powerful mainspring into full compression. The metalwork has a nice aged patina with no apparent damage. It is complete with its rear open adjustable sight and open front foresight. It cocks and fires with no issues and the swivelling safety catch on top of the action works as it should. The price for this rare piece includes UK delivery. NB as a post 1939 Air weapon the restrictions of the Crime Reduction Act apply to the sale & delivery of this item. Sn 23484:30
