Made in 1927, I think it was made for the Czech
Army( my guess). 8mm?. Very nice condition, most seen are re-built and not in good shape. I understand a pile of these went off to Romania and Norway
. I can't figure out the "19P" markings. 19th Police Battalion? Not sure. Does not appear to have seen combat. Nice find.

you have a fine looking VZ24, it appears that it was made and stayed in czech; if it was romanian the last letter in the prefix there would be the letter R > as CR or the like. as for a premium price perhaps a little due to matching numbers a fine example congrats!
