'Non import' VZ24

[Anzac15]

Picked this one up today. If I'm correct about the date, its the earliest VZ24 I've ever gotten my hands on. '29' on the left of the ring, (so I'm guessing 1929) Czech acceptance stamp seems to have been crossed out. Only non matching part is the bolt. Matching stock. 'I' block rifle and excellent bore. There is a strange marking above the number on the bolt handle, so I'm not sure the bolt is Czech.
So, meant for export? As stated, she's non import marked, but it could have been brought into the US pre 1968.
Really pleased with this one.

I just discovered this crown marking above the receiver legend....have never seen this before. Any ideas???

I believe I have stumbled across an early Persian contract VZ24. The crown here is very similar to the crown on mine.

The crown is a persian contract mark. However, the bolt is chinese.
