How to identify a zaskar

[SeeingisBelievingGTMuseum]

not if it's a made in the USA Zaskar. Most of the Taiwan built bikes and the later year Taiwan built Zaskars have the serial number on the bottom bracket. I even communicated that with the seller of the bike posted above days ago right after the listing went up

This one has a flat end cap but doesn't have a replacable hanger. Is it just a very early Zaskar or as allready mentioned could it be a Pantera.

I'm not interested in buying it, was just curious!!!

With that serial number and the flat top tube end cap it has to be 1991 Zaskar built in April. U-brakes only ran through the 92 model year on that size frame. The 1992 Pantera was the only other GT that had a flat top tube end cap but it was also stamped 7005 and had a serial number under the bottom bracket that started with an H meaning it was built at Taiwan Hodaka.
