*◊ EXCELLENT GERMAN REISSUE VZ24 CZECHOSLOVAKIAN MAUSER SERVICE RIFLE.

SN 2202C1. Cal. 7.92mm. This VZ24 was brought into German service after the occupation of Bohemia and Moravia into the greater German Reich. When processed into German service, this rifle was redesignated “Gewehr 24t” or simply “G24t”. The principal indicator of German use is the absence of the side swing swivel at the wrist, and its replacement by a walnut plug. All parts on this rifle are matching including the buttstock, with the exception of the bolt removal lever which is numbered “5749”. The stock’s unit marking disk is present and is stamped “6P281” indicating issue to the Czechoslovakian Army’s 6th Infantry Regiment. There are no German unit marks present. The rifle bears the acceptance mark “E-Eagle-26” indicating Army acceptance of production at the Ceskoslovenska Zbrojovka Brno factory in 1926. In addition to the Czechoslovakian firing proofs & acceptance mark, there is a post-war British proof mark on the receiver. The SN “2202C1” is marked on the buttstock, trigger guard assembly, floorplate, buttplate, receiver, bbl and both bbl bands. The walnut stock has finger grooves. Handguard surrounds the rear sight and extends to the front band. Close inspection of the rifle reveals no German markings except the wrist swivel and a German military pressure proof Eagle/Swastika. Cleaning rod is not present. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Finish on metal parts is blue turning to brown retaining approx 25%, with some white metal appearing. Wood, handguard and stock are near excellent with no breaks, splits or cracks; a small piece of wood is missing where the handguard meets the receiver ring. Stock is well worn & could use a cleaning, but is generally in very nice condition in spite of the normal scratches & dings expected of a WWII service rifle. Bore & crown are strong, but with debris and could use a good cleaning. Mechanics function perfectly. 4-53076 JJW27 (800-1,200) – Lot 1378
