SN 245. Cal. 8mm x 57. Interesting tipping breech block (similar to ZB vz. 26/BREN MG) semi-automatic sporter developed by the Czech arms designer Emmanuel Holek (brother of Vaclan Holek) and manufactured in 1942, utilizing an under-barrel tapped gas recoil system, the weapon cocks by taking the front sling loop and pulling the gas system rearward thus disengaging and retracting the tipping bolt. This rifle was very advanced for its time, it is Czech proofed and is marked with Holek's logo and "ORIGINAL HOLEK AUTOMAT" on the top receiver rear. The magazine (replacement) is in the white as are the bolt and extractor, period 2-pc sporter stock shows nice checkering at forend & wrist. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess, ex-Visser collection. CONDITION: Very Fine. High polished blue is 98%, the rear dove-tail sight has been ground down at some point and 3-threaded holes are present on the right where a presumed tangent or target sight was probably added and later removed. Bore is very nice, shiny, stock shows some wear & a few minor scratches and dings. The firearm has been properly stored in a climate controled enviornment.
