Here is a new-to-me Guatemalan VZ24 I picked up in January. This rifle replaces my previous Guatemalan (Mausers, Only Mausers, page 6, post #230) which was mismatched with import marks and in lesser condition. My old one will be purchased by someone on Gunbroker tomorrow night.
4,000 were made in 1937 by ZB for Guatemala, Guatemalan crest, bolt mismatch, generic sling, no import marks. Correct VZ24 Export bayonet, Romanian frog. Barrel, receiver and stock s/n 0610; bolt s/n 3294. Bore VG+.
Rifle purchased on Proxibid, bayonet/scabbard and frog purchased on Ebay, and I had the sling, sight protector, and cleaning rod. Please post any comments to this post rather than to the similar reference post in the sticky Mausers, Only Mausers.
Regards,
Bill
