IN 96- 97% VERY SHARP ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A 1938 PRODUCTION CZECH Cz24 POLICE MARKED SERVICE PISTOL IN .380 CALIBER. THIS EXAMPLE IS ALL MATCHING WITH A MINT BORE AS WELL. THE RARELY SEEN POLICE MARKING CET INDICATES THIS WAS ISSUED TO THE CZECH STATE POLICE ORGANIZATION. CZECH POLICE MARKED PISTOLS ARE RARELY SEEN AND IF YOU COLLECT CZECH PISTOLS THIS IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT FIND.
THE Cz24 WAS THE STANDARD CZECH ARMY SERVICE PISTOL OF THE WW2 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.
