Very nice condition 41A Ben,

OH and congratulations on a lovely Aluminium Zus 40 too !!!!!

Thanks for posting

regards Kev
 
Very nice, is this particular aluminum type rare compared to other Zus-40's.
 
This was the original ZUS40 , the material , for making Aluminium became scarce, the Germans tried to use plastic, which suffered from breakages , they then started to use Mazak .
Its interesting in that the RAF made bomb pistols in bakelite that also suffered breakages , but they reverted to Brass.
 
Your Photography;

Sir,
Your photos are some of the best close up images I have seen on here.
Thank you for your time and sharing.
Best Regards,
John aka Bart
