Weapon description
Manufactured by Česká zbrojovka a.s. in Prague, calibre 7,65 mm Browning, made in 1943, eight-shot (magazine capacity)
The marking of the weapon corresponds to the pistols produced in the occupied Protectorate for the OKH (Oberkommando des Herres – General Headquarters of Land Forces). The pistol is marked on the left side of the slide with the description Pistole Modell 27 Kal. 7,65 indicating in order the model and calibre of the weapon. The serial number is stamped on the left side of the sidewall. The top rail of the slide is stamped with the German manufacturer’s marking BOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A. G. IN PRAG, the German army acceptance mark WaA 76 and the serial number.
The serial number is stamped on the right side of the body of the weapon at the end under the barrel. On the body of the weapon above the bolts there is a German army eagle acceptance mark WaA76 (the WaA76 mark belonged to the weapons inspector Kieserwetter from the acceptance department of the army armaments office – Heereswaffenamt). On the right side there is also a German verification mark in the form of an eagle with a cross on the barrel in the cartridge ejection hole.
The pistol is treated on the surface with standard black lacquer. Bakelite brown grips (Textoplast No.15) with matching circle.
The magazine is black, corresponding to the year of manufacture, marked P.Mod.27 on the underside.
