Now that I got your attention, I have a question, and technically I didn't mislead you: I am talking about dating a Romanian. Namely, a Romanian contract Vz.24. The serial number is GR 17xxx, so that makes it approximately a 1938, right? Or am I off here?
No, there's no lion+year marked on the receiver.
The pictures of the said rifle. Sadly, the crest is ground off by the commies, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits. The rifle was also re-arsenalled by the said commies to an excellent condition (and the bore matches the condition). The bluing is 100%, the numbers match, although the number on the bolt is electropencilled (which is typical of these). Got a nice unissued CZ bayonet made in 1938 for it, so I do hope that I dated the rifle correctly.
