Well there was some interest after Juergen posted a picture of his. Here is mine and the story behind it...... every gun has a story.
When I was working at the gun shop a kid comes in with a CZ27 with holster. He says I'd like to trade this in toward a Sig. I said, "ok". So then in general conversation I asked how long he had it. He said it had been in the family and that his grandfather brought it back from the war. I said, "You don't want to get rid of this". He then says he doesn't shoot it and he wants a "better gun" so this one had to go. I truthfully told him that these guns weren't worth a whole lot. He said every little bit helped. So I offered him a typical gun shop price and gladly he accepted it. I swore to my self that I will never part with this gun unless he some how tracks me down and asks to buy it back.
It really amazes me on what people will get rid of (and I have my share of regrets as well). Some true American hero brought this back from the war. Who knows, his grandfather possibly killed a Nazi that had killed a few GI's and took his gun. Maybe he traded a carton of cigarettes for it on his way back home. Who knows????? All I know is that there is a story with this gun that has been lost and sold for a modern production carry piece. What I wouldn't do for a gun that my grandfather brought back from the war.

The info that Juergen posted dates this to a 1944
Here are some pics
