    Question VZ 24 with a 1" brass disc in the butt stock

    I have a nice VZ 24 with a 1" brass disc in the butt stock. At 12 o'clock it's stamped 2 ZN, at 6 o'clock it's stamped 364. Anyone know what this indicates?

    I've also been told the sling is original. What would verify this?

    On left side of receiver is stamped F, then maybe a griffin image, then 26, below it are 8517E 1 - any clues on these stamps?

    Thanks, JoeMC9

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Your "griffin" could be the skinny version of the Czechicon proof-mark lion.


    But I can't see the marks clearly from here!
