FP,
The SS TK VZ-24 has SS TK markings on the outside and Eagle B & SS markings on the inside of the grips. I got this from a rifle collector in New York State. I have no idea where it came from.
When I say that the grips were reworked on the SS VZ-24 bayonets, the grips were reduced in overall thickness and match the contour of the tang & crossguard very precisely.

Richard,
Thanks for the prompt reply to one of the questions, and my comment regarding the fit of the grips. CZ (and 98K) grips were intentionally made oversize. So Im assuming that the grips you are describing are not new. But simply sanded down, like the many thousands of other Vz 24 reworks.
But unfortunately, it will probably be this evening before I can round up some pictures of etching vs. stamping vs. engraving (conventional and rotary) to help with that aspect of the discussion.
