BRNO VZ 24

Unless it has been altered, it's a pretty good bet the caliber is 8x57JS. The VZ24 was available in 7x57 and 7.65x53, but those are pretty rare.
Of course, many milsurp rifles have been reworked, re-barreled or re-chambered over the years, so if there is doubt, have a gunsmith run a chamber cast to make sure.

After the Nazis took over Czechoslovakia, they put the Czech arms industry to use arming their forces. A couple of the Panzer divisions that invaded France and later Russia were equipped with Czech built tanks.
The vz 24 in 8mm Mauser was a "substitute standard" for a lot of German units. I have one with WaffenAmt markings. Good gun, very slightly different from the Mauser built K98k.
Recommend taking it to a gunsmith to have the headspace checked, and caliber verified. If its still in its military trim, odds are very high its an 8mm Mauser (8x57JS)
