I impulse bought this 1939 M24, the stick is marked hkz waffenampt 39, there is a serial number of 12288 and a 39 on the base close to the cap. The steel body is marked RR564 1939 and a Waa64(i think its pretty faded). The cap has the numbers 44, 331 and 10022 stamped in it. I have never had the chance to handle a real M24 and I'm hoping I made a good choice.
