While I recently had posted pictures of my Romanian Vz.24 Split Rings mount sniper rifle (see http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread....it-Rings-mount) I noticed that I had never posted pictures of one of these with the Single Scope Mount Bracket Type sniper rifles. These are those of which WWII period pictures exist showing them in usage.
Therefore I decided to take the time and picture one of my Romanian Vz.24 Sniper rifles (yes, they aren't that uncommon over here and I have a few of them) for reference here. Notice that the scope bracket is both serialized to match the rifle, as well as the scope serial number. Scope has been produced by I.O.R. in Romania, a company that nowadays still makes scopes. The similarity to the Russian scopes is quite obvious.
Since these sniper rifles were used by Germans (or Allied of Germans) I consider them German WWII sniper rifles. Especially since they are a Mauser action too.
