Hello,
I bought a few weeks ago a VZ23.
It belonged to an old collector which was selling his collection.
This gun has some imperfections : old traces of water, some holes of wood worms. The owner also said me that the stock seemed to have been denazified (this isn't uncommon here) and that there was an ugly cross engraved on it.
At first glance, these points were corrects. This VZ23 is matching number and they are quite difficult to find in France.
I disassembled it. The surprise came from the barrel (which is very good).
It has the fixed rear sight base ramp, correct for L block. And fire proof.
But the barrel is E + lion + 26. It also hasn't sight hood cuts.
No german proof as can be found on E+lion+38 barrels.
Could it be a czech rebarelling?
