| I've bought a nice VZ-24 made for Romania, and I have the remnants of a King Carol II crest on the receiver. I've been looking for a picture of the full crest on the net but I didn't found one. Does anyone can help me on this?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! :ro: |

| The cipher of King Carol II was a double C in a crowned circle. You can see it in the upper left corner of this image http://worldwar2.ro/forum/viewtopic.php?p=5160#5160 by Dragos.

| Thank you for the answer. I have a very small simplified crest on top of the serial number, at the left side of the receiver, that includes the 2 C's! One more thing that I didn't see! On top of the receiver, I have remnants of tips of laurels leaves. They don't appears on the helmet crest. Was the crest included in a laurels crown often? |

| The laurel leaves could have been for decorative purposes but I am not certain. Could you please post an image of what is left from the original mark on your VZ-24? |
