I need some help identifying a CZ for a co-worker. The pistol looks like a 27 except the serrations at the rear of the slide are not vertical, but slanted like most of today's weapons. There are no caliber markings on the gun anywhere that I can find. The right side of the frame at the rear has CZ in a circle and
J (?) 37. The front frame right side has a serial no., 172xxx. There are no markings of any kind on the left side of the frame. The top of the slide has
CESKA ZBROJOVKA A.S. v PRAZE 172xxx (?). The (?) is a symbol I cannot make out. The grips are one piece wrap around plastic that have a retention screw on both sides. Magazine release is on the bottom of the butt. The pistol has what is supposed to be the original holster with spare magazine pouch built in w/ the spare in it. The inside of the holster is faintly stamped in what looks like black ink "Mauser 7.65". Both the holster and pistol are in great shape. The gun was supposedly taken from an officer during the war and brought back. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
