The interwar and World War II era produced a number of compact, reliable semi-automatic pistols that are prized today by collectors and shooters for their historical significance and practical design. A well-preserved example with original finish and period accessories offers both a tangible link to history and a functional piece for range use under proper legal conditions.

CZ WWII VZ. 27 is a Prague-made pistol produced under German occupation of Bohemia during World War II, serial number 218698. This piece features a 3.9-inch barrel chambered for the .32 ACP cartridge, a bright bore, and original factory finish across all metal parts. The pistol retains an excellent original factory one-piece checkered Bakelite grip with the CZ-logo and is marked “BOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G.” on the slide next to an acceptance stamp. A German Waffenamt stamp appears on the right side of the frame above the grip. It ships with an 8-round detachable box magazine and a 1941-dated German leather holster marked “P. Mod.27” that contains a spare 8-round magazine.
