It was.. once it was Austrian, then Chzechoslovakian, today itīs  Czechian...
There was no such thing as Checkoslovakia at the time of this picture. The later Czechoslovakian territory (Skoda works were in Pilsen) was then part of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. Skoda was the biggest supplier of weapons to the Austrian Army.
