Japanese contract VZ-24

[alks207]

Got my hands on this little war horse. Originally produced as a Japanese contract (as evident my the "P" prefix), but due to spicy events in the late 30's, it ended up staying in Europe. What's interesting, is on other receiver it has a 1937 manufacture year and a "38" next to the lion.

The "38" indicates it was accepted into Czech service in 1938.the "E3 lion 38" is the Czech acceptance proof.

Looks like it would make a great 'Deer Rifle'.
