Where confusion seeps in, is the separation lines. Latest polymer-framed pistols, are designated "P-#" (P-07, P-09).ĬZ Strakonice military pistols were and CZUB's manufactured ones are still usually designated with their military model designator, e.g.
Whereas your C^Z 28 is not a model designator, but just a CZ factory sign, combining an old style (C arrow Z) logo with year of production millesime (1928), while the serial indicates an Army contract vz.24 pistol.Īs for the CZ #, CZ-# and vz.# designations and their presence in slide legend:ĬZUB civilian pistols are now usually designated with "CZ-#" style designator: CZ-75, CZ-83 or CZ-122. The Czechs never stamped model designations on their pistols for internal consumption - the P.27(t) is not Czechoslovak, but German designator. This is a year model, like "Model of 1911" or "Pistole 08". The "CZ28" or rather vz.28 designation discussed here was NEVER stamped on any pistol. The 1929 specimen comes from a private collection, the 1930 one was offered for auction in Germany several years ago. Note a change in factory proof stamp in 1930, as exemplified by the two pistols. See some photos of the prototype SA/DA variant and of the two rare survivors of the 2nd Model Polish Border Guards CZ 28, one made in 1929, and the other in 1930. This extended grip is by far the only difference between the military vz.24 and export CZ28. That Polish CZ28 came in two variations: 1st Model with a wooden holster-stock slot (only 230 made, one known to have survived so far, in Czech Republic) and 2nd Model - with no slot, but retaining the extended grip with 9 rds magazine in 9 mm Short (.380 Auto). Of course there used to be a CZ 28 pistol - two of these, in fact, one prototype only with DAO trigger (developed by Frantisek Myska of CZ Strakonice for Poland, but never ordered after the trials found it wanting), based on the vz.24 frame (8 rds magazine) and the other ordered in 1929 by Polish Border Guards (2539 pistols delivered in three batches, 1930-1932). I will post what I find out when the Know Your Czechoslovakian Pistols by R.
#Vz 24 serial numbers serial number#
My 1937 dated CZ 24 has a serial number of 144880. I removed the slide and there are no serial number inside anywhere.įrom my limited experience I believe this pistol is dated 1929 as indicated by the 29 on the right side of the frame. STRAZ KARLOVY VARY" on right side, does have "CESKA ZBROJOVKA AS v PRAZE" on top of frame with the serial number, but does have "CZ 28" on left side below serrations. 380ACP (correct for a CZ 24), has smooth hardwood grips (no big deal there), does not have the "C.S.
