ok thanks, I appreciate it, the company I bought it from sent me a COA with it, also some ammo pouches and other stuff, it does have 1 lightning strike below the BNZ, then there was another mark. I would have to go dig it out of it's hiding place to see what it is. but thank you very much for telling me. I really appreciate it.
thank you, Marty
WOW Navyman!!! Your collection is amazing!! I can see why it took so long to catalogue.. Thanks very much!!!

Hi Marty.. BNZ is the maker code for Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG,. The same maker mark as my MP40.
thanks
Andy
thank's Andy, so I am guessing the guy lied to me, but they are a big company in America, but the mauser was my 2nd semi big purchase, my 1943 underwood m - 1 carbine cost more than it, it still shoots like a swiss watch also, so I think I will call the co. today, even though they are out of k - 98 mauser's, I was going to buy the sniper rifle & scope, wish I had now, oh well , but it does have one lightning strike on it. I'm really confused now. any way your collection is nice too, I'm afraid to buy anything off ebay anymore thank you for your help, if you get tired of your collection, let me know, just kidding. if you know anyone who is selling a wound badge , let me know, I guess it's just the stahl helm & crossed bayonets, but I have been wanting one for a long time, I appreciate your help, thank's again.

Hi Folks, I attached pictures of some new additions to my collection. I know the M16 Camo trench helmet isnt third reich, but it felt a little left out. Hope you like them!!
Andy
The tank track links come from a Panzer 1,2,3, and 4. The flag is a cut down Vehicle recognisation flag.
Cheers
Andy
Wow some great additions to an already fantastic collection Andy
