Semi-automatic pistol chambered for 7.65mm cartridge. Marked same as CZ 1924, but cocking grooves on slide are cut vertically instead of sloped as on earlier model. This model was blued, with checkered wrap-around plastic grips. These early guns were beautifully made and marked, "Ceska Zbrojovka AS v Praze". After the war, these pistols continued in production until 1951. More than 500,000 manufactured.

NOTE: Some of these pistols were made with an extended barrel for the use of a silencer. This variation brings a large premium. Fewer than 10 CZ27s were made in .22-caliber. An expert opinion is suggested if a sale is contemplated. NOTE: Add 50 percent for Nazi-proofed.
