It was.. once it was Austrian, then Chzechoslovakian, today it´s  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.
