Latest Addition Matching vz24 Guatemalan

Post by capt14k »

Wanted to share my latest find. Which I again must thank my friend Thomas (7x57) for. He sent me the link and I bought it immediately. It is the only matching Guatemalan I've seen. There were only 4,000 made and a lot less survived. Even less survived matching and in this condition. Not import marked. Hope everyone enjoys.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words. I finally got to taking it apart and the barrel matches as well. The condition is amazing. No rust and no pitting below the wood.

7 meaning user 7x57. 12 pack meaning this isn't the first one he found for me.
