Gun Collectors Dream Auction #69 Weapons of War!
Lot 1566:
Up Next is a CZ-52 Semi Auto Pistol Chambered in 9MM, Overall Appears in Excellent Condition, and Comes With One Magazine, and Dated 1954. Has a Extended Slide Release. The pistol is commonly called the CZ-52 but that isn’t really its name. Its real name is the Ceska Zbrojovka vzor 52, usually shortened to CZ vz. 52. Cesk? Zbrojovka is Czech for “Czech Armory”. You would pronounce it as Cheska Zbroyovka, and to be authentic, a Czech would pronounce CZ as cha zet. Vzor, commonly abbreviated as vz., means “model”. So, a literal translation of its full name is the Czech Armory Model 52.
