NICE! Is it fully functional?
I do not think a bb is the proper ammo for those.
I think it was a bit smaller and made of lead.
Gamo still makes that small lead shot but I am not sure
of the diameter. I would wager that something pretty close
to the original size could be found in some size shot of
a .12 ga. shotgun shell though. and a lot cheaper too.

Appears to be the CZ model VZ35. It was a training gun for the CZ24 service rifle. Regular BBs won't work, it takes 4.4mm lead balls. If its in decent working conditiion its probably worth $600+.

I seems to work fine, altho I haven't fired it as I don't have any ammo.

WOW, 600 beans huh, thats cool too!!

 That is a neat gun. I recently sold a Haenel Sportmodell 33...



 H&N used to make 4.4 mm lead balls (don't know if they still do). JG airguns sold 4.4 mm balls by the pound, but it was just BB size shotgun pellets, so wasn't very round and didn't shoot accurately out of my Haenel rifled guns. Cheap though, he may still carry it.

 Another cool military trainer is the Anschutz/Hakim in .22 (2nd gun down from top)
