old CZ27

Question
I have an old gun that used to belong to my grandfather. Its an old CZ27.  Along the top of the barrel is engraved "BOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G. IN PRAG", theres a small symbol of some kind then the serial #52237. Also it was in a black leather holster with what looks like a small nazi insignia just above the button. Ive been trying to find out the age and value of the gun and maybe a little history as well.

       thank you in advance

Answer
Ok if pre war model its worth
$450 to $200 depending on its condition.
Exellent to fair.
If it Nazi marking its value doubles.
If the barrel threader for a silencer or if .22 caliber
if must be appraised.
Most were chamber 7.65mm round.
There 500,000 made from 1927 to 1951.
I would snail mail CZ and ask if they can date the pistol.
You can get thier address at thier website.
