My son just forwarded this picture to me from work... one of his fellow F/F's was cleaning out his grandfathers house and came across them. I'm betting that the hive will have the answer faster than I can figure out the best way to frame a google search.
Only have the one pic so far; this being NJ and all, he didn't dare take these to work with him.
Just have the one photo so far.
All help appreciated!

CZ24/CZ27 and Steyr M1912

Assuming Black Talon is correct, Three minutes is a pretty good time for the forum. I am not sure if I have seen quicker or not

Well it's hard to tell with the first one, maybe a vz.22 or vz.24

Edit. Just realized I could make the picture bigger and looks like a CZ27 due to the different slide serrations.

The bottom one looks like a 1912 Steyr-Hahn. Bing Images The grips are missing.

It's better than that... my original post was at 8:44, but the pic didn't link. Someone replied to that effect, and subsequently deleted their post.
I didn't get the image to show until 8:46 according to the clock on my cable box.

The Steyr is a neat old gun. Here’s a pretty cool vid of it functioning.

I concur with the CZ27 and Steyr 1912 identifications - thanks go to BlackTalonJHP for the 1 minute response!

Some additional details I've received - apparently Grandpa was a pilot in WWII and they're both war trophies from that era. The new owners plan is to clean them up and incorporate them into a shadow box along with other mementos of his grandfathers service.
Apparently both are missing some parts, so the search commences!

I like the shadow box idea.

What can I say? I'm a slow typer

Is the Steyr's slide locked back on purpose, or is it stuck? Also, some of the Bing Images show it being loaded through the top by a stripper clip. I didn't know that.
