IN 97% EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY 1928 PRODUCTION CZECH ARMY PROOFED Cz24 SERVICE PISTOL IN .380 CALIBER. THIS EXAMPLE IS ALL MATCHING WITH A MINT BORE AS WELL. THIS EXAMPLE IS NOT UNIT MARKED SO IT WAS PROBABLY AN OFFICER ISSUED PISTOL.
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.
