1. Is a VZ24 Czech Mauser 8mm. Regimental tag on the buttstock is marked with the Czech Air Force identifier.

2. An all matching VZ24 8mm Contracted to Romania.

3. VZ24 Contracted initially to China. China couldnt come up wit the money, this shipment was sold to the Brazilian Revolutionarie. Cal. 7X57

4. Fabrique Nationale Mod. 24/30 contracted to Venezuela. Cal 7X57

5. A slightly modified but all matching Mod. 1908 Brazilian contract by Deutsche Waffen MunitionsFabrik Oberndorf A/n 7X57

6. A Yougoslav captured K98 Mauser 8mm

My favorite is the Czech G33/40 Fallshirmjeager/Mountain Carbine 8mm.
Wow, there's nothing like cycling a silky-smooth Mauser action.
