The maker whose stamp is 'arz' made MG34 and MG42 parts. The company was Deutche Kul-u Kraftsmaschinen GmbH, Kraul-Enbisdorf, bri Freiberg, Germany. It is the maker's stamp on the gun. This outfit was a sheetmetal stamping concern. Many businesses contracted with the major assembler/makers to make parts for the MG42s. Kraftsmaschinen also made MG34 parts like feedtray so, bipod parts, etc.

If the profile picture is slightly below the centerline of the gun the AA fixture can be hidden behind the top edge of the shroud. There should be one on that gun. Buttstock appears to be Yugo.

It's on a form 3 of a deceased former dealer. The transferor on the form is Bob Landies and Collectors Corner. There is no additional marking noted on the form. The form is dated in April 1986.

 

That is all I know. What can you tell me?
