10/30/24 – The Czech vz.22 pistol was manufactured by Zbrojovka Brno (the Brno Weapons Factory) between 1921-24. Though it was initially intended to be a production military pistol, it ultimately served as a mere prototype for the vz.24 which was manufactured by Ceska Zbrojovka (CZ). In October of 1918 Czechoslovakia declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and in 1919 took steps to establish an arms factory in Brno, which was initially staffed largely by Austrians and Hungarians because the Austrians had the requisite expertise in arms manufacture. The Prototype CZ-22 was notoriously unreliable and generally required individual tweaking with each pistol, which led to the full order of nearly 20,000 pistols largely being full of pistols that were quite dissimilar. This pistol is chambered in 9mm Nickl, which is like a rimless .380 ACP. It is also unit marked on the front strap, reading ’11 D 782′. There is a Czech Lion proof with a “6” on the left side of the trigger guard. Its finish rates about 90% with thinning on the front strap and wear along the high edges in general. Areas of light spotty oxidation here and there – most noticeable on the front strap. The wood grip is a bit worn with a repaired crack on the right side. Comes with one proper magazine. The bore has good rifling with very light pin-pricking.
