Could anyone provide some information regarding a Romanian VZ 24 (ZB). I purchased one recently, but I am not entirely certain about its history. There is no year or crest on the receiver. The only marks are the serial number (UR21XXX), the CM mark (which I was told was placed on imports accepted by Romania), and the manufacturer's marks: Zbrojovka Brno, A.S. V.Z.24. The claim made by the dealer was that the crest was scrubbed by the Romanians in 1947. That this happened makes sense, of course. The claim that this rifle was rearsenaled by the Russians does not. The mettal shows some wear, but it has clearly been reblued, and all parts electropencilled to match the receiver. The handguard seems original, but the stock looks new and appears to be made from a different wood. Intrestingly, the stock has a tiny cartouche, which resembles the emblem on the slovak flag (double cross atop three hills). Furthermore, I cannot identify the origin of the sling, which incidentally, does not seem to go with the VZ 24. My main question is, who rearsenalled this rifle? Was it really the Russians? If so, how would they have acquired it after 1947? How come the stock is new but not the handguard? I look forward to hearing input on the history of VZ 24's. Thanks.

Vaughn, just checked four Romanian Vz.24 sniper rifles for you. You could basically find all, K98k bolt with removed serial or Vz.24 with removed serial (seems to once have had a serial similar to the post above mine). Vz/24's which bear the 'D5' type phrase at the end of the serial number, like '2876 B4' are rifles made at Brno. Only 5 cycles of vz.24's wwre made for the Czechoslovak Army. Each cycle had around 260,000 rifles, 10,000 for reach of the 26 letters in the alaphabet.if that is the correct number for the Czech language.

Vz 24 For Sale
While I recently had posted pictures of my Romanian Vz.24 Split Rings mount sniper rifle (see http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread..it-Rings-mount) I noticed that I had never posted pictures of one of these with the Single Scope Mount Bracket Type sniper rifles. These are those of which WWII period pictures exist showing them in usage.
Therefore I decided to take the time and picture one of my Romanian Vz.24 Sniper rifles (yes, they aren't that uncommon over here and I have a few of them) for reference here. Notice that the scope bracket is both serialized to match the rifle, as well as the scope serial number. Scope has been produced by I.O.R. in Romania, a company that nowadays still makes scopes. The similarity to the Russian scopes is quite obvious.
Since these sniper rifles were used by Germans (or Allied of Germans) I consider them German WWII sniper rifles. Especially since they are a Mauser action too.
