Can you tell what it is?
What it shoots?
It actually is in fine condition internally, I have shot it a bunch and it runs like a top.
HINT, It was a WWII bring back

Looks French to me, and probably shoots 32 auto.

No sir, tha'ts not a Ruby.

It's a CZ27.

**Pukindog** · February 19th, 2009, 11:43 PM

Wrong again, It is a CZ 1924. The 1927 has 4 grooves on the slide cut straight up, the 24 has 5 grooves cut on an angle, so a 24 it is.

Well Hell's bells Jeff you are correct.
This is a CZ 24 shoots 9mm Kurtz with vigor, Rotating barrel, This one is from 1937, And the guy who it came from had an extensive collection of WWII bringbacks, US and Foreign items, This one I didnt get the whole store on, But it is equally rusted on the other side as well.
Ugly gun, Good shooter. If it was a revolver I would carry it!
Good job Jeff !

The serations are angled wrong direction & there's no barrel putruding,

Certainly a CZ 24 :-) I have one myself and its a great shooter!

It's amazing how the grip angle of a pistol can make it look like crap. If that gun had a 1911 grip angle, it would actually look decent, IMO.

9mm Kurtz, aka .380 ACP
