Ceska Zbrojovka VZ 52 – 7.62×25mm Tokarev – Mfg 1954 – CZ 52 – Czech Pistol

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Ceska Zbrojovka VZ 52 in 7.62x25mm Tokarev. Serial number- LB3781. This pistol was manufactured in 1954. This CZ 52 is in great condition with a great bore and comes with one magazine and an extra barrel that still has the factory grease present. Around 200,000 vz. 52s were manufactured in the early 1950s for the Czechoslovak military. The CZ 52 is technically known as the vz. 52; the Czech military designation. It's often referred to as the CZ 52 to differentiate it from the vz. 52 rifle, which entered the export market before the pistol. The CZ 52 pistol is a roller-locked short recoil-operated, detachable box magazine-fed, single-action, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge (the gun was originally designed for 9mm Luger caliber but due to political pressures had to be redesigned for the then Soviet standard pistol cartridge).
