following is posted for Jim Cate..

CZ 24 dated 28, 79380, Nazi test eagle on right triggerguard, P 1 P 955 x'ed out on front gripstrap, brought home nickeled (no evidence it was ever blued), came to home in nice black (color original) 1938 dated holster with 24 in a circle inside also. This is / was probably an SS police pistol at one time.

I would be very interested in knowing what information about this nickled CZ 24 indicates that it "is / was probably an SS police pistol at one time."
Thanks

I have no idea...I just posted it as requested by Jim. I believe he (like some others) has had problems signing on to your forum! I will ask him.

see / read caption on page 57 AXIS PISTOLS

see / read 4th paragraph on page 54 relating to gripstrap markings & SS lightning runes. No mine doesn't have the SS runes, but the SS got substandard captured weapons until 1940/41, and mine has similar gripstrap markings. Having the test eagle rather than military acceptance also would add credibility perhaps. JIM
