BRNO ZKW 465 Production Numbers - Info wanted
      #332697 - 25/09/19 07:44 AM

The Brno ZKW 465 Hornet was first produced in 1948 and I think just under 1000 were made in that year. About 15,000 were made in 1949 and then another 15-20K made between 1950 and the end of production around 1974. Being interested in all Brno bolt guns, I would like to know if there were years in which no production was made at all. If you have one of these nice little rifles, please check you serial number and see what year it was proofed and help fill in this table or chart below:

(I have added the observed numbers high and low for each year based on my observations)

Serial Number Proof Yr

001 1948 Lowest observed
38X 1948 Highest observed

58X 1949 Lowest observed
1705X 1949 Highest observed

21,33X 1958

30,68X 1967

Any additonal information for high and low each year or additional years would be appreciated.

John
