Marks on grip a count or from machining ?
Just got a cz-24 the reseller was told it was a bring back and that is all of the history that I know about it
manufactured in 1937 Thought the marks might have been a machining error at first but after blowing up a pic I think it may have been put on there by someone But will never know by who or why |

More likely what we used to call "barrel wear", marks picked up from bouncing around in a barrel. They look like they might have been made by the edge of a slide where the cocking striations are, maybe on a P.38 or a Radom.
(Yes, a symbol of six dead Nazis would be more romantic, but the idea of notching grips has been much overplayed.) Jim |

They almost look like checkering overruns. LOL

Didn’t think they would have been a count when I first saw then because they were on a weird angle and not the same length they end in a sort of half circle but they didn’t line up with the serrations on the grip so that pretty much ruled out a mistake in manufacturing too me
But rubbing on something in a crate that’s round and serrated does seem like a more likely scenario that I didn’t consider |
