One of the so-called dual tone's. Blued slide (not much left) phosphate frame. I'm guessing 1943?

"Böhmische" variation, a so called "Dual-Tone" piece. Slide blued, frame phosphated. Interesting thing to this one: No serial on the right side of the frame. Based on own researches is this only in the serial range 20,000-245,000.

Very nice pair.......they're meant for each other:thumbsup:
Watched that holster for a while....let me know how it fits with the pin.

That was a concern, that somebody installed it long ago in order to fit the holster to a smaller pistol. But, it does appear to be the Czech Lion and it obviously has been there a long time. I don't think that I will remove it at all, if it no longer fits a cz27, I will continue looking.

The button is most real a Protektorat uniform button.

Thanks for jumping in, Andy. Can you give me more information? Are you saying that this is a button off of a German Occupation Soldier's uniform?

Ahh, so the states that Germany broke Czechoslovakia into, when they annexed the Sudetenland and broke Czechoslovakia up into the Protectorate of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia.
If I understand you, you are stating that the button is from a Moravian Soldier during the period 1939-1945?
