Gun Collectors Dream Auction #73 Mixed Guns
Lot 1134:
Up Next is a Clean CZ-52 Semi Auto Pistol Chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, Overall Appears in Excellent Condition, and Comes With One Magazine, and Leather Holster With Tool, Dated 1954.
The pistol is commonly called the CZ-52 but that isn’t really its name. Its real name is the Ceská Zbrojovka vzor 52, usually shortened to CZ vz. 52.
Ceská 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.
