Work started on the construction of the first workshops of the arms factory originally called “South Bohemian Armament Works” (“Jihočeská zbrojovka”). The company merged with an arms manufacturing plant in Vejprty and with a factory in Prague in 1922. This gave birth to the constitution of a stock company under the name of “Czech Armament Works in Prague of the Manufacturing Plant in Strakonice". They produced pistols, air guns, and automatic guns which all became successful products.
