CZ1936 .25 auto pistol

Hello, I have a CZ1936 .25 auto with markings on the right slide: "Stat.pol.ur.mesto.libava.12".
Have any idea what it means? Thanks, John

you should google the script... Mesto Libava is town in Czechoslovakia

It’s probably “statni policie urad mesto Libava 12” in full (without the diacritic marks as they don’t function here in the Forum’s text). Translates as state or national police city Libava. There’s a military district of Libava but that was established just after the end of WW2 so not likely related to these marks from the town. The military district still exists although in somewhat reduced size currently - Vojensky ujezd Libava. The current Mesto Libava is a village of 600 inhabitants and was created after the reduction of the military district. Mention of the original Mesto Libava goes back to the 1300s. That’s as much as I’ve been able to gather from some internet searches (Czech language pages).

Thanks for the info. I did do a Google search for that phrase and didn't find much except the town. I figured it ment State Police for that town. I did find this:
 In the town of Mesto Libavá there were 345 houses in 1929 and 2,237 inhabitants lived there.  Of these, 2,181 were considered Germans and 21 Czechs.
After the Second World War, the German-speaking population was resettled in Germany.  Immediately afterwards, the entire area around the city was used for military purposes as a military training area.

So I'm guessing it was used by the local police in WW2. That might explain why the Bakelite grips were swapped out for wooden ones.. Anyway, thanks again.
