When I was at the Kamloops Gun Show last weekend I spotted an interesting rifle. The tag said it was a ZG47 in .270 Win. On handling it, I found that the receiver was stamped ZG47 but it didn't have the right hand rotary safety. Rather, it had a safety that is virtually identical to the one on the Brno 21H ie. a flag safety on the left side of the bolt shroud.

So my question is - was this a legitimate ZG47 or has the rifle been cobbled together with some parts from a 21H.
 
I saw the same rifle and noticed the same thing but did not take a real close look as I thought it was quite over priced. If the stamping on the bolt handle matches the ones on the rifle...There seems to be a few "crossovers" out there.
