CZ vz27 early version
« on: July 13, 2018, 07:03:41 AM »
I recently acquired a vz27 with what I think are very low serial numbers 57786; it also has a stamping of: J*27 on. - January 1927? The same serial number is on the barrel.  What is interesting is that the lugs on the barrel are more like a Mauser 1910 than the later three grove kind. It also has a wooden one pice grip that is totally intact. Besides needing a main spring the pistol is tottaly functional.

What I would like to know is, what year was this made in any any other information anyone can provide. I have pictures but do not know how to upload them on this site.

The 'J lion 27' is the acceptance mark of Czech military, J for office, 27 for year of acceptance.

On the German CZ site none of the images match. It was the wooden grip and is most defenetly a early version.
The only other marking on it is a ? 4J 47 ? on the front bottom of the grip.
