Hi everyone, this German-Occupation production Czech CZ-27 is up for sale locally with two magazines and a holster. The seller describes the piece as a German FNH CZ-27 with 98% finish with a blued slide and phosphate frame. The bore is bright. Estimated year of manufacture 1943/44. SN 301151 with WaA76 on right side of frame. Any comments or opinions? What is an estimated value of the whole rig? Please see photos below for reference. Thank you.

I don't have the new book yet, but I have had the "CZ 27 Illness" for a couple of years, so I'll provide my opinion. First: holster to me is $100. That may be high? That may be low? I'm not sure if high / low. I don't care much about holsters, and I don't know much about them, but if a holster is period correct / "matching", that's worth $100 +/- to me.
As to the pistol: It looks nice and in quite good condition. Sales prices have increased in the last couple of years. This pistol is a fairly common variant (doesn't mean not desirable, but it does mean that if you don't buy this one you don't have to search for the next 1-2-3-5 years to hope to find this variant again). If I needed this variant, then in this condition I'm at about $500 +/- (plus $100 on the holster). Then, add whatever $$ premium to get it "now" vs to continue to search, look, evaluate, etc.
That's my $.02. Others here no doubt have better insight. I only have 10-12 CZ27s, and am still learning!!
One nice thing about collecting CZ 27s is that if we "over pay", then it may be a lot on a % basis, but compared to Lugers, P. 38s, 1911s, etc., when we "overpay" the amount on a $$ basis isn't tremendous. We can make mistakes by paying "too much" and still afford our rent / mortgage / electric bill next month.

Well, if Hessian is interested, that probably means I'm second place to him again!!

Hessian, I don't think there was anything necessarily for me to jump on, . . . but since you seemed to express interest I figured there must be something there and that you beat me to it!!!
I'm glad to be back, and greatly appreciate you, and the many others, that have also welcomed me back.
