This is my second I just passed to my Son my first one in the first five probably of my collection last Christmas as a gift.That VZ-24 was matching down to the stock pre-war smooth bolt he hits targets out to 300yds with iron sites he says the AR boys are amazed.He is stationed at Hollerman AFB in NM.It's the finest Mauser action I've ever handled. I expect you'll love yours.
Looks a bit similar to a Walther PP.Brought home a new to me carry pistol. US made by Ranger for Interarms, not sure of the date, probably early 90's. The IWB holster is by Azula. I've come to like their products - inexpensive and high quality.
Now to find some time for the range...

PPK/s - the US version made because of the GCA68. PP frame, PPK barrel and slide.Looks a bit similar to a Walther PP.

I finally found a good serial number list - it's from Jan/Feb 1985. Being that old, I'll order a new recoil spring for it as well as getting some walnut grip panels that will look a bit better than the hard rubber Pachmayrs on it.
I like having both options. The Pachmayrs are good for carry but it's nice to have walnut when you want to dress it upThe Pachmayrs will provide a better no slip grip.
do you own knives / blades?
I've posted some pics of my little (!) Friends, awhile back ... I'll post more soon!

Thank you for correction, dear Frog.It was Major Jack Churchill, 2 of IC of n° 3 Commando during operation Archery at Vagsoy (dec 27, 1941) and later leading n° 2 Commando in Italy (sword and archery).
Thought you may like this, photo of "Mad Jack" Churchill leading his men ashore carrying his sword at the Combined Arms Training Establishment Inveraray, Scotland in October 1941. Inveraray is very near to where I live. Seemingly "Mad Jack" was the last person to kill an enemy soldier with a longbow during D-Day. Somewhere I have a photo of him with sword in one hand and revolver in the other.Thank you for correction, dear Frog.
