The pistole vz. 24 was the standard Czech Army pistol of the inter-war period. It was an improved version of the pistole vz. 22, which had been licensed from Mauser. Slovakia seized over ten thousand vz. 24s when it declared its independence from Czechoslovakia in March 1939.[1] The vz. 24 was succeeded in production by a simplified version chambered in .32 ACP, the vz. 27.
