I have recently placed a CZ 24 "on hold" after much searching for an early serial number, all matching numbers and an attractive finish and wooden grips in solid condition. I would appreciate information from Jan "Hoba" Balcar and as many others of you as can help as to front grip strap markings "3D12"; serial number 44119, manufactured 1926. I would especially appreciate information as to where this artillery regiment served and its commander, etc. Any and all info appreciated as I am just now looking at this period and region of world history. Thanks and best regards, Carlton "Skip" Pott

Nice photos of a very nice town.
I own a 1928 vz24, with two sets of unit stamps. The first, the 16th Infantry, is crossed out. The second is 4H 434. Do you have any information on this second unit? It's 4th Mountain Infantry Regiment, correct?

Hi Jan:
Thank you for the information. It's that kind of background that lends historical perspective to a pistol and makes collecting military issue sidearms such an enjoyable hobby.
It's interesting that both of these regiments were located in Slovakia. A hundred years ago, many Slovak immigrants settled in my New England town, and quite a few of the men worked in local textile mills. I remember as a boy hearing Slovak spoken at the local grocery store.
There is still a very active Sokol Society here.

I was also interested to see from your links that the two towns, Roznava and Presov are in the same region.

Jan can tell you a lot more, but P is infantry, and H is mountain infantry.
Your third marking would be 44th Infantry Regiment, rack number 912.

About the information you posted on the 14th. You say these regiments WERE located in these towns. Was this during WWII?

Thank you sir. I know that Böhmen is Bohemia. What is Mähren?
