Air rifles with military acceptance marks

Few air rifles were actually used in military training. Probably fewer actually have military acceptance marks. I know of 2 probably 3? The CZ VZ35 and I assume so did the VZ47? The Hakim rifle. Are there any others?

Granted these are more "property of" rather than the broad arrow type where guns have been evaluated by the board etc.

I think BSA were hoping for the latter and the ones they gave away or sold at a discount were used in their adverts to try and get sales. (as used by several regiments etc.).

That’s pretty cool, makes it one of a kind. Finally snagged a reasonably priced CZ VZ35 with bayonet on a online auction last night. Thus in full research mode! Thought it would never happen. They are rare and usually crazy priced over here.
