Thanks the extra pictures help. I'm pretty sure it is an early VZ24. Great find, that's a keeper! Your rifle is probably made in 1924, when they redesigned the VZ23 and started making VZ24's.

And yes it is possible the Germans used the rifle during WW2, they used the VZ24 as "Beuttewaffen".

Awesome! Thats good news. Thanks for your help mate! So what do you think the E *lion* 24 means?

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?

I can't help you with that one. Maybe some off the other members know? My VZ24 doesn't have a sling attachement, it has a wooden plug like yours.

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)

It isn't a German modification. I found the anwser, some were made with sling attachements for both infantry (bottom of stock) and cavalry (side of stock).

All vz-24s made before annexation had infantry and cavalry sling attachments.

Are you sure about that?
