SOLD CZ24 PRE WAR CZECH ARMY PISTOL UNIT MARKED NICE EXAMPLE

IN 96% ORIGINAL CONDITION, WE HAVE A VERY NICE EXAMPLE OF A CZECH ARMY ISSUED CZ24 PISTOL IN .380. THIS PISTOL WAS MANUFACTURED IN 1927 AND WAS TAKEN INTO CZECH MILITARY SERVICE IN 1929 AND IS UNIT MARKED TO THE CZECH ARMY’S 47TH INFANTRY REGIMENT. THESE JOSEF NICKEL DESIGNED PISTOLS ARE VERY WELL BUILT TO THE POINT OF BEING OVER-BUILT FOR THE SIZE OF THE CARTRIDGE. THEY ARE QUITE ROBUST AND RELIABLE AND WERE VERY HIGHLY THOUGHT OF AT THE TIME. THIS PISTOL, LIKE ALL OF THE CZECH ARMY WEAPONS THAT WERE IN USE AT THE TIME WAS ALLOCATED TO THE GERMAN ARMED FORCES AFTER THE TAKEOVER IN 1938. THEY WERE KNOWN TO BE WIDELY ISSUED TO THE WAFFEN SS AND THERE ARE ANY PICTURED OF THEM BEING USED BY MEMBERS OF THE SS.
