Ziegenhahn Model IV .22LR Standard Pistol

Post by jbshooter »

Does anyone know what years these were manufactured? And, does anyone have spare parts for these pistols?

Monitor egun, or invent a time machine to go back to the GDR. And beware, there are two different types of Ziegenhahn, not compatible.

The zeigenhahn is a Margolin modified by the factory to make it a more reliable firearm, probably it was as good as some of the more modified Margolins that were around at the same time.

Is there ANYTHING more reliable than a Margolin MCM?
My experience has been that if .22lr ammunition is going to go bang, extract, and feed the next round it will be in an MCM.

No.

Nothing like a Margolin, not even from the same country!

If you are really keen on a Ziegenhahn, there are a couple of new ones for sale in Germany - from dealers. Google will find them for you.

I've answered my own request:

It reminds one of the Unique DES 69 / 69U, although I'm sure there is little internal resemblance.
