This is certainly the finest example of an all matching totally untouched Japanese Navy issued Vz24 P serial range 1937 dated Rifle that we have ever seen. It still even has the original Japanese issued sling with Kanji markings still visible in two places. You will note that this is a very early serial numbered rifle in the P series, and it certainly was issued as is evidenced by the sling. It may have been in use at the Japanese Naval Academy at Eta Jima as there are pictures of Naval Cadets drilling with them and the rifle is in such pristine condition. It may have been issued to the Special Naval Landing Forces but it certainly saw no hard use during the war. When we come across one of these P series Vz24’s there can be speculation at weather you are looking at a Chinese issued rifle or a Japanese issued one, but in this instance the Japanese attribution is irrefutable based upon the sling. This is a very important and significant Czech Rifle from the Pacific theater and it certainly will be a must own item for many of our clients.
