Trying to find year and caliber the side plate has vz24 on it . top of the receiver has ceskoslovenska zbrojouka =brno=. Ser#5914 k1. Also has e(lion) 26. Or 2b Thank you.
just incase you didn't already know it's a czechoslovakian mauser made in the city of BRNO... to my knowledge all VZ24s were 8mm mauser/8x57/7.92mm... the names for 8 mauser are endless.
There are original models floating around in 7mm. If it's import marked it should say on the barrel what caliber it is in. Please check carefully before trying to shoot it.
