I.D. an old 8 mm,for me .
On top of the reciever ,stamped " 1937 " . On left side of reciever" cecsloveska bronjovka,A,S,BRNO.And under this is,VZ 24.
I know little on Mausers ! Is this a Large or small ,ring Mauser ?
I have a 98,large ring,the reciever is messed up,and would like to put the barrel onto this one. Will it fit ????????????

you have a large ring Mauser.....and the barrel will fit if you take it to a smith that knows how to " fit" it...
Your 1937 BRNO is a fine action.....why not start there and build a truly fine custom gun.....

It' s a VZ 24 large ring. They are good rifles.
As for the barrel interchange. ??????
Some large ring receivers take small ring shank and threads.
Check parallax.com
Then go to curio' s and relics , it' s a forum like this and there is tons of info to be had for the asking.
Good luck

VZ-24. Its a large ring mauser 98 that uses a large ring barrel. Almost all Czech made rifles you will find are large ring, except the G33/40 mountain carbine which is pretty rare and has a distinctive looking buttplate.
