German-modified VZ24?

This VZ24 has the side swivel filled and came with a German bolt, but other than that it has no German markings that I can see. It is not import marked. I picked it up at a show years ago, and, if I remember correctly, I paid $60 for it.

The stock matches, and except for the safety lever, the German bolt parts all match. The bolt number is 1945, which I think is kind of cool. The rifle is numbered 9680 Y2, and it apparently entered Czech service in 1931.

Anyway, I am wondering if this is a (slightly) German-modified VZ24, and if it is, what its approximate value would be. Thanks in advance for any replies....

Bamba, I have the correct, original, German Vz 24 blued bolt for your rifle in my K98k bolt mm and you have a k98k bolt in your rifle. I'd like to swap bolts with you so we'd both have more correct rifles (more valuable for us both). PM me.
