1914 DWM arty/4" WW2 "HZA" rework

[318is_Parabellum]

...and I spotted this one, and recognized it as being 'unusual'. Did a little research and while I found HZA jt3 reworks, I've never seen that particular firing proof.

I am a WW2 US and German small arms collector, and I find it fascinating studying and acquiring these pieces of history! I am especially fascinated by those weapons that have "been there and done that".

I am also a Mauser nut, and I recognized the mauser codes on some of the re-work parts.

It is my understanding that a lot of these rework lugers were used by the SS and other Nazi organizations that did not have access to the usual channels of procurement that the established military forces were able to utilize.

This pistol just serves to illustrate to me how fascinating a field of study and collecting the 'world of lugers' truly is!
