WWII 7.65 semi-auto pistol

I offered to help a friend identify some WWII stuff found in his fathers effects, and had no problem tracking down a couple of Nazi daggers, but am stumpted with this pistol.
It is marked with "Pistole Modell 27 Kal. 7.65" on the left side of slide.
Top of barrel is marked with "BOHMISCHE WAFFENFABRIK A.G. IN PRAG. 213411".
It is a nickel finish, but unfortunately, is sat in a box in a garage for many years and is pitted. Of course, I got into this whole thing, and had it broken down, oiled up, and reassembled before the night was over. It seems to function well, but not something I would want to depend on for personnal protection. As I think I understand it, .32 ACP ammo should work in this gun? I will attempt to attach photos. Thanks for your help.

Even in factory original excellent condition they would be only a $250-$350 pistol. Yours being nickeled and pitted would be only valued as a shooter, perhaps in the $100-$150 range.

Matter of fact, after second look that holster is idential to the one I have with my Walther, except is has matching serial# and insignia!
