I can see the two Brit revolvers, but not this one; Attachment 416561

Ha, they're the same link - just a picture to make the post less dull.
Those are the storyboards to the tank chase from Indy 3.
Shot in Almeria, Spain - the same place these hard to find ZB parts are coming from.

......and what a mix-up of guns, 'The Last Crusade' was - somebody didnt do his job on that one.

Webley models change inexplicably and upside down Berettas are used for a Villar-Perosa.

Only highlight was the MP28 - a favourite of mine.

(still like the use of the prototype airplane in the original Indy movie - like something out of Luft46. I wonder which airplane geek came up with that excellent idea.).

Thank goodness for the Phoenix SAR show - I found a ZB-26 buttplate, with parts!!!!!!!!!
$20.00 - so no ordering weird FAO parts from Spain, or worrying about importing, customs, exchange rates.
There it was, in a box of rusty Czech parts - rocking!!!!!!!

fitted right onto the stock, has the strange little spring take-up, when you shoulder it - interesting design.
(I believe the ZB26 had butt-plates with both shoulder brace and without - an expert is welcome to chime in, here.)

Thought it was Bren parts, then looked closer - isn"t it fun when that happens?


It looks a bit rough in this pic - I oiled it down and it looks great now - should have photographed it afterward.

Pit.

Well done Pit.
