Do you think the gun was a training rifle as AndyB said?Remember Me? When the Germans pressed the VZ24 into service G24t they usually numbered more of the parts in typical German fashion. Other parts were not numbered unless the contract called for them to be numbered. Normal for a VZ24 to only have a sn on the bolt, receiver and stock. The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. The red strip on butt is probably for trainning rifle, some times is a Instructie stamp there.
GERMAN MAUSER RIFLE MARKINGS SERIAL NUMBERS
I just took the gun apart to clean it and there are no serial numbers or markings anywhere else on the gun. It is a VZ 24 manufactured in Czechoslovakia and sold under contract to the Romanians. Join Date Dec Posts 1, Romanian King Michael rifle that continued in Romania and had the crest removed after the rise of communism in that country ie. WWII German Mauser 98K rifle at 1,000 yards Any other clues as to when this gun was made, value, etc would be awesome. I have searched all over and found bits and pieces about this gun but would like to learn as much as possible. It also has no blueing is this normal or has it been rubbed off? I read something about soldiers using antifreeze to keep their guns from freezing up. Also the bolt has almost no markings on it except A2 under the bolt handle. I am mainly wondering if the red paint on the butt stock signifies anything. It is in battle shape and I had some questions about it. Results 1 to 19 of Thread: czech mauser k98 markings?
