A guy I know has had this gun for since the 1970's and he was looking for info on it and I helped him out with it. I took it apart to make sure it was all matching and gave him an honest assessment of what the book value was. I told him if he was ever interested in selling it to let me know. Well, I ran into him last week and we were talking and I had to ask if he was ready to sell that CZ and he said yes. I offered top dollar for it and I was flat broke with gun money from other purchases I had made and so a few things had to go out so this could come in.
The gun is all matching but the period correct mags are not. The bore is bright and shiny. The holster is correct and original to the gun. It was made in 1931 and accepted in the military in 1934. The CET mark (thanks to Jeurgen for help with this) served with the Czechoslovakian Cetnictvo, which would be the Czech Gendarmarie, a branch of the Ministry of Defense that handled rural police duties. I am not sure yet how rare that marking is. I have also read that the uncircled T mark means it was accepted into German service after the occupation. My understanding is that the police and military were disarmed and their guns were distributed to SS divisions. I have only found one source for that info so far so I am not sure how accurate it is. The German word for Czechoslovakia is "Tschechisch" and so the T mark.
I have been hoping to find a good example of a CZ24 for some time and was glad to find a complete rig. Thanks for looking.
