Dated "37" on the frame, this pistol bears an engraved "eagle/swastika/M" on the right side of the frame and "O.639" on the front strap and the matching magazine floorplate. The CZ 24 was acquired in limited quantity for use by the Kriegsmarine, with a few hundred total estimated and three recorded by serial number in Still's "Axis Pistols" (page 183). Both the eagle and the "O" (0.639) number (indicating processing and issue at a Baltic Sea depot) are traditional Kriegsmarine markings, with the markings and features of the pistol otherwise standard for a pre-occupation CZ.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of gray patina, a small amount of brown patina, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. 60% of the straw color is present on the trigger, and the fine grip shows some light dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
