First of all I must thank our fellow member from New Zealand, who saw my BRNO 22Lr in one of the pics here and enlightened me on the history / technical facts and other details of my gun. Paul (35WCF) is very informed about the BRNO 22LRs. Here is a link to his article and a absolute must read for all BRNO 22LR fans.

My gun was bought in 2003 from a farmer who bought it brand new cerca 1957, fired a few rounds every once in a while, and kept it wrapped in sheets and towels till the day I bought it from him. His wood house helped fight rust and decay I guess.
It is a 1956, BRNO Model 2 22Lr serial number an early 8239 heheh. Everything is original exxcept the butt plate, (the last owner being tall had the butt plate changed). The bluing is from 1956 and still gleams of those days. I do not plan on doing anything to it except change the butt plate for an original. The stock is in a much better state than most similar weapons of the day and also has the original finish from 1956.
Regards,
Pavan

I have taken it to clubs here, and this is easily one of the most well preserved guns of this type.. save the bloody butt plate. Here are the pictures,
