With a little bit of googling though, there’s several PDF versions floating around online for free. Mauser Military Rifles of the World has a couple pages on the Romanian Mauser rifles and is a great book but has since gone out of print. There’s not a whole lot of information out there specifically on these rifles, and what is out there is often incorrect or outdated information. It can be assumed that all rifles with the second letter of the prefix being an "R" were made in 1939, 19. CZ Brno also changed their name as it was marked on the guns throughout production, seemingly out of the historical order of events, further adding confusion. I speculate that it appears around the time that King Carol was overthrown in September of 1940 and remains in use until King Carol receivers were exhausted and the King Michael receivers would be designed and put into production. In the OR through RR range, a "1940" appears. It would cease to be used by the TR prefixes entirely, being completely replaced by King Michael's crest, which seems to be the most uncommon. By the CR prefixes, the King Carol crest would appear. The "second contract" started with AR prefix numbers and a "1939" marked on the crest.

If you care to contribute to this survey, feel free to post here or on the thread I started on Gunboards linked above. I have started a serial number survey for Romanian contract VZ-24 rifles. For what its worth, this is a King Michael crest that would have been used at some point after he became king of Romania. As the war progressed and German began to loose territory, bombing Romania and with the Red army advancing, public sentiment of the war changed and King Michael led a coup overthrowing Ion Antonescu and joining the side of the allies in August of 1944.
King Michael was made king a day later on September 6th 1940 but remained only a figurehead for the nation. As fascist political beliefs took hold among many Romanians, Ion Antonescu managed to gain control of the Romanian government on September 5th of 1940 as prime minister and Romania subsequently allied itself with Nazi Germany, though Carol II had already set that alliance into motion. At the start of WWII, Romania sought a position of neutrality under King Carol II.
Romania was one of the buyers of these rifles. The rifle itself saw adoption by the Czech military and saw huge commercial success with hundreds of thousands of exports across the globe from the 20's through WWII. The VZ 24 was developed after WWI in Czechoslovakia as a replacement to the previous 98/22 pattern Mauser. It had been sporterized by a previous owner, so I needed to source a bolt, bottom metal, and stock set to complete this rifle and return it to an as built but mismatched example. Today, these crests are extremely rare as most were removed during post war refurbishment by the Romanians under Communist control. As such this rifle was marked with the Crest of King Carol II. This is a Romanian contract VZ-24 rifle produced during the reign of King Carol II of Romania.
