**WWII ZB-26 MACHINE GUN WITH NAZI PROOF MARKS MANUFACTURED WAFFENWERKE BRUNN (C&R).

SN 0561. Cal. 8mm, bbl 26″. This interesting ZB-26 looks every inch the WWII bringback gun. Bbl number does not match receiver number but does have eagle over 63 and eagle over swastika proof mark on bbl. Eagle over swastika final proofmark is visible on the top of the receiver at the forward edge of the magazine well. Top rear of receiver retains Czech cartouche as well as SN and Nazi eagle proof marks WaA 63, which indicates manufacture at Waffenwerke Brunn A.G. which is stamped on left side of receiver. “JPL T AZ85653″ is engraved just forward of the sight adjustment knob which indicates that this arm was once in the possession of a noted firearms owner in Arizona, Pat Tomlinson. Buttplate number is 3620 which does not match SN. Bbl has two SNs, 33641 is struck through and A054. This lot includes one unmarked 30-round magazine. Firing mechanism functions smoothly when operated by hand. This weapon appears fully functional. PROVENANCE: Ex Dolf Goldsmith Collection; The class III weapons formerly on loan to Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. CONDITION: Overall finish and appearance is good with uniform coverage of a brown patina with some spots of old scale and areas, particularly on the left side of the receiver, where gray metal is showing through the patina. All metal parts, including the magazine, present this appearance which indicates that this gun saw field use. Further indication of this is that the bore is quite good with distinct rifling and is shiny and bright. Bolt face and bolt is also clean. This weapon has all the indicators of it being a soldiers weapon used in the field. Butt stock has a significant 2″ long ding and chip on the left side about 4” from the receiver as well as some significant small gouges on the left side of the stock. Wooden hand grip is of a much lighter wood as is the bbl carrying handle. There is no doubt that this will become a prized possession to a WWII collector and/or machine gun shooting enthusiast. 4-51730 (15,000-20,000) – Lot 2024
