30 Cases of Major Zeman (original: 30 prípadu majora Zemana) is a Czechoslovak produced crime and spy television series directed by Jirí Sequens. The series follows the career of fictional criminologist Jan Zeman (Vladimír Brabec) from the entrance to the National Security Corps (SNB) in 1945 until in his departure for retirement in 1975. Each year represents one case resolved in one year career. The episodes are inspired by real cases, but often grossly distorted for the purpose of communist propaganda.
The following weapons were used in the television series 30 Cases of Major Zeman:
Pistols
Browning Hi-Power
Policeman-turned-spy Pavel Blaha (Radoslav Brzobohatý) returns to his old country armed with a Browning Hi-Power pistol.
The Browning Hi-Power is hidden under Blaha's pillow in the 11th episode called "Křížová cesta" (Way of the Cross).
A Browning Hi-Power is also seen in Bláha's trunk in the 14th episode "Konec velké šance" (End for a Big Chance).
CZ 27
Various characters carry CZ 27 pistol, which was used by the Czechoslovak army and police shortly after World War 2.
StB agent Mr. Zitný (Frantisek Nemec) in 5th episode "Hon na lišku" ("Fox Hunting") searching for a hidden radio.
1st Lt SNB Pavel Blaha (Radoslav Brzobohatý) draws his weapon after the expected arrival of a small plane at the end of 5th episode.
File:Václav Lohniský-CZ-27.BMP.jpg
Detainee superintendent of KZ Jägr (Václav Lohniský) grabs the pistol, not realising that its chamber is empty.
Lt. Vydra (Frantisek Hanus) in the 2nd episode "Vyznavači ohně" ("Fire Devotees") fires his service pistol at a fleeing Nazi.
