That is the MOD acceptance stamp, your rifle was made for the Czechoslovakian army and not for export.

hey mate, sorry to bug you again but you seem to know your stuff! I have just ONE more question for you. On other VZ24's iv seen there is a sling attachment on the side of the stock handle. My VZ24 does not have this, Il attach some photos for you. Were early VZ24s built without this sling attachment or has someone (perhaps left handed shooter) removed it? There seems to be some deliberate markings on the area where the clip should be. What are your thoughts?
Possible German modification. A lot of vz-24s were modified in one way or another i.e. sling swivel removal and the addition of bolt take down discs. Then there's the version of the vz-24 produced under German supervision, the G 24 (t)
Vz 33s and Vz 98s had only the infantry sling attachments.
