MarteriusI am far from en expert on Brno rifles, but from what I can deduct from the picture it is probably a model 21?

KurtCAppears to be an unmolested model 21 (721) circa 1949-55. There is no model designation marked on these rifles. Each distributor/importer had a bit of liberty in how they marketed it.

Savage99Following what I have learned from Kurt C and others along with the ones I own it seems to be a 21h with the longer barrel which may be close to 24".
Did you buy it yet?

JonasThanks for your help. I have decided to buy the gun. I thought it would be nice to get to know the other famous model of from Brno (I have two ZG47).
The owner finally found the date stamped on it (50). My ZG 47 are in 9.3x62 and 3006 so the 8x57 is perhaps a bit close to the 3006 to be praktical but if once stuck on these '50 Brno's, what can you do?

AtkinsonYes, that is a mod 21 or to be exact a model 721 Brno...I have owned quit a number of these guns over the years and the one I have now is a 9.3x62 and I love it...
I think the 21 and 22 (manlicher) are the finest commercial mausers ever made by a long shot, better fit and finish and they must all shoot as I have never seen one that did not.
