    Default Czech Weapons in WW2

    I'm looking for any information on Czech weapons used by the German army in WW2.A lot of the accessories on the market for these guns lately, have been of post war Yugoslavian manufacture.I'm particularly interested in items that were associated with the ZB26/30 and ZB37.
    Does anybody know anything about this magazine tin used with the ZB26,was it a pre-war Czech article or a copy of the Bren chest? This one is of German manufacture.Any help or comments appreciated.

    Ade, You are correct the Bren Magazine box was a copy of the ZB26 Magazine box... The Zb26 magazine box can be found pre war and with German Markings.. The German magazines were marked with a Waffenamt 63...BILL

    I once had two complete pre war ZB26 small parts kits.. They were in wooden boxes and had bolt, extractors, firing pins, recoil springs and many other small parts... The collecting of Czech weapons used or manufactured by the Germans in WWII is a great collecting field with in it's self..Heavy MGs, Light MGs, and their accessories, rifles, pistols, and their accessories, bayonets, field gear etc,, a whole new collectors field..BILL
