CZ CZECH CZ 27 “FNH” PHOSPHATE FINISH LATE WWII NAZI ARMY ISSUE
Description: We have an “fnh” code variation, .32 ACP, CZ 27 (vz. 27) pistol in okay condition (65%+). This pistol was produced in the later stages of WWII in Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia. The pistol has the perfect phosphate finish that was in the later part of the war along with grips without the CZ emblem. The pistol is in excellent condition. Serial Number: 407,552 (right on frame and top of slide). Serial numbers for “fnh” CZ 27 pistols range from approximately 261,000 to 476,000. Perfect mechanical condition. The trigger, hammer, and extractor retain most of their original straw color. This pistol displays a Nazi-German Military “eagle/WaA 76” WaffenAmt acceptance mark (on right frame, top slide, and barrel). The barrel is stamped with an “eagle clutching a swastika” German Military test proof mark (no serial number). The top of the slide is marked with the Nazi proof followed by serial number (407,552). Left side of the slide is marked “fnh Pistole Modell 27 Kal. 7,65”. This pistol is fitted with original one piece checkered Bakelite (early plastic) excellent grips with no cracks or chips. The pistol is complete with an original factory magazine stamped on the bottom of the base “P. Mod. 27”. In an effort to hide the location of factories producing weapons, in June 1941, the Germans introduced a letter code system to replace factory names. The ?eská zbrojovka [CZ] factory received the code letters “fnh”. In the case of the CZ 27, it was not used until mid-1943. The “fnh” was added to the left slide marking and the “BÖHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G. IN PRAG” marking was removed from the slide top. Early “fnh” marked pistols still had the CZ logo on the grips, which was soon removed. This is a rather common WW2 German-issued pistol in uncommonly nice condition. CZ 27 was one of the most widely-issued non-German pocket pistols of WW2. They are extremely well-made and overbuilt. While most CZ 27 variants are quite common, it is difficult to find pistols like this one in such exceptional condition. The finish on early CZ 27 pistols, with serial numbers ranging from 20,500 to 230,000, was bright blue. As the production progressed, the finish changed to dull blue, then to half blue and half phosphate, and finally to all phosphate. In March 1939, Germany occupied all of Czechoslovakia, and in early 1941, all CZ 27 pistol production was diverted to the German war effort. Czechoslovak sources put the beginning serial number of German Military production at 20,500. Between 620,000 and 650,000 CZ 27 pistols were manufactured in total, 452,500 of those under German occupation. This pistol is a fine example of an occupation-made CZ.
