I own that same rifle. It is a K98 Mauser. It was made at the Brno plant after it was seized from Germany by the Czech's. They were then imported by the Isreali's and converted to 7.62 during the Isreali war of independance.
Basically, It is a German K98, Czech manufactured and stamped, Isreali converted. It is definitly not a VZ-24. Mine is lion stamped AND still has Nazi markings. Usually they are ground off
