IN 96% EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A LATE 1937 PRODUCTION CZECH ARMY PROOFED Cz24 SERVICE PISTOL IN .380, FULLY RIGGED OUT WITH A NAZI MODIFIED HOLSTER. THE PRODUCTION DATE IS 1937 WHICH IS THE LAST YEAR BEFORE THE NAZIS ROLLED ON IN TO OCCUPY THE COUNTRY. THE Cz24 WAS THE STANDARD CZECH ARMY SERVICE PISTOL OF THE WWII ERA.
WHEN THE CZECH MILITARY WAS DISSOLVED, MOST OF THESE PISTOLS WERE ALLOCATED TO THE WAFFEN SS AND THEY ARE OFTEN SEEN BEING CARRIED BY THEM IN PHOTOS OF THE TIME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY WELL MADE PISTOL AND WAS THE BASIS FOR THE UBIQUITOUS Cz27 PISTOL. BECAUSE OF ITS .380 CALIBER THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE POWERFUL POCKET PISTOLS OF THE ERA ALTHOUGH IT IS CERTAINLY OVER ENGINEERED AND WAS BUILT TO LAST SEVERAL LIFETIMES OF USE.
