Found one of these at a gun show this past weekend (yes, I'll post pics when I can set up for it), and picked her up. Good bluing, bright barrel, all matching serials, only-slightly-scratched bakelite grip, intact Nazi acceptance stamps... for $260? Why, yes please. ;D
I've been able to take her down and get her cleaned up, and now look forward to taking her out to the range to see how she handles.
Anyone know of good resources for the vz. 27? Most of what I've been able to find online so far are mostly historical, with a few 'range reviews' thrown in here and there.

This seems to be one of the best resources for CZ specific firearms.

Still the folks around here are not as stuffy as they are over at the CZ site. I enjoy collecting and shooting my firearms, surprisingly not all see it that way.

PB, Looks like a neato burrito pistol. Was reading history about it. I wonder what the swiss did with those 5.5 million supposedly sold sold to them in 73'???. Sounds like ya' stole' it at that price.

As promised, pictures:
Look ma, no chips on the leading corners! ;D
Definitely made during the occupation...
Took her out to the range before work, put a full box of rounds through her (sadly, Wolf was all they had, but at least they were brass-cased hollow-points). .32 has a bit more punch than I expected, with how everyone talks it down as a 'mouse gun' caliber. The gun functioned smoothly, and accuracy was good. When I could concentrate and take time aiming (before Mr. AR opened up in the lane next to me), I could put 4 of 8 shots touching, in a line, in the bulls-eye, at 10 yards. Sites took some getting used to, as the site picture has only the smallest clearance between the sides of the front blade and inside edges of rear site.
Definitely a keeper...
