I didn't know how to add pictures to my post and make everyone aware that might want to look, so I started a new topic. I'm sure there is a better way? I tried for a neutral background but it did affect color. I believe the slide has a rounded top to make it a 24. The slide grooves are angled which I have only seen on 24's. The .32 fits the barrel and the barrel lugs all seem 27 to me. I know that you all have more CZ experience than me. Remember this is the only one I have ever had in my hand.
Thanks

Looks like a 24. Reported to have been a gift to liberating officer from CZ. Blued finish. Signature engraved on right side of slide. No other stamping for unit, acceptance mark or date, etc. Seller's father was Army officer but not old enough for WW2.
2 magazines with one loaded with 32 auto. P Mod 27 on baseplate of both. Brown leather holster with magazine pouch. Officers hat pendant attached to holster flap. I say pistol has never been shot. CESKA ZBROJOVKA A.S v PRAZE 19xxx on top rib of slide and matching number on frame. No . after S as I normally see A.S. Used 27 instructions for disassembly of slide and barrel looking for marks. Plastic grips and lanyard loop still attached.
Please tell me what you think. Does the story wash? Spent the last 2 days searching info on the web. Didn't find anything that helped. One visit was to

Thanks everyone. This looks like it will be interesting. I bought a case of 7.62 x 51 NATO and looking for a semi. Any suggestions? Shooting SKS and Ruger Mini 14 now.
