Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Many Model 27 pistols are marked with a German World War II code (fnh) to denote the place of manufacture. These are usually inferior in craft and finish to those without the code marking but are serviceable pistols. Some specimens produced after World War II for commercial sales are marked “Ceska Zbrojovka-Narodni Podnik, Strakonice” (Czech Arms Co.—National Enterprise, Strakonice). Strakonice is the city where the CZ pistol plant is located. Administrative offices are in Prague. These commercial guns imported to the U.S. are also marked “Made in Czechoslovakia”. The Model 27 is a blowback-operated pistol with an exposed hammer. It has a magazine safety which prevents firing with the magazine removed. The grip on the pistol is almost at a right angle with the barrel, and this is not good for natural pointing. It is a relatively simple and rugged pistol, and compares favorably with other semi-automatics in functioning reliability.
This pistol is adapted to the .32 Automatic cartridge, one of the most popular semi-automatic pocket pistol cartridges in the world, and produced in many countries. In most places outside this country, it is known as the 7.65 mm Browning. It was introduced in about 1900 in Belgium for the early model FN Browning pistol and made its appearance in this country in 1903 with the Colt pocket pistol.
In most countries, this cartridge is considered adequate for personal defense. This is particularly true in Europe, where it is not only the most popular pocket pistol cartridge but is also employed in many nations by military services and police. In the U.S., it is considered inadequate for personal protection, and the .380 Automatic cartridge is more generally favored for semi-automatic pocket pistols.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The pistol is a CZ Model 27 cal. 7.65 mm. (.32 ACP) semi-automatic produced by Ceska Zbrojovka, A.S. (Czech Arms Co., Inc.), Prague, Czechoslovakia. German markings (Bohmische Waffenfabrik A.G. is equivalent to Czech Arms Co., Inc.) indicate manufacture when the CZ firm was under German administration shortly before and during World War II. German officers and police used this pistol extensively, and it was brought to this country in large numbers by returning soldiers.
