Hello guys and gals, You may remember me from my thread asking about the Type 97 6.5mm Arisaka/ Kokura sniper rifle my Father owns in which I asked about a month or so ago. We really appreciated all the fantastic info we received from Gunboards on it too.
In that thread I mentioned my Father also had a czechoslovakian war rifle of which he was wanting to know more about. He'd like to know more about the "history" of it & the true value of it in today's collector rifles market.
I *finally* now have the time to post pics and make a thread to ask about this Czechoslovakian rifle...........hopefully this will be as exciting for Dad & myself as the Arisaka turned out to be....We'd like to know as much as we can find out about this rifle...what year this one was made if possible, how many of this type was made and what it's worth in today's market and/or to a collector of old war weapons...
So ...Let us get to the S#, proofmarks and other info engraved/stamped on this rifle.
So ....that the experts here on Gunboards can "check it out" (no pun intended....well maybe LOL) .
Serial #: G58913 foremost left side front of receiver AND on left side end of butt stock
CESKOSLOVENSA ZBROJOVKA,AS,BRNO with VZ24 underneath it and to the right of the S#
What looks to me like , either DR or an RR with first "R" not stamped well see pics.. DR/RR 17 3 2 3 on the bolt's handle
What looks like a 5 inside a half of a square on bolt handle's *knob* and another marking I can't decipher
And on top of foremost part of the receiver , a large emblem stamped or engraved that appears to be somewhat/sorta like/similar to what Arisakas have, of which only *each side of* (L & R ) seem to be still there. The center portion of this emblem has either been worn or or sanded off. But can make out a fant portion of part of the center of this emblem *barely*.
Let me know if I need to disassemble the rifle to see if it is numbers matching. I'll need info on how to disassemble it though.
