This is another pistol I am trying to find info on... This looks like it is in good condition, as is the holster. Anyone know what fnh stands for? How about age & value?

    It's a Czech CZ-27. It was made for the Germans during their occupation of Czechooslovakia during the latter years of W W II. I would rate it approximately in Very Good condition. Value it in the $250-$350, range.

    NOT BAD crude war time machining better then the revolvers you are thinking about listing. . condition of inside BORE of barrel would be important as to value "SHOOTER or NOT"

    Would a photo of the inside of the bore be sufficient to tell the condition & whether it is a "shooter" or not?

    as long as the bore is clean and the pic sharp. I had an early war CZ27 and loved it as a shooter.

    What is the best way to clean the bore? I can put a photo up tomorrow... want to shoot it with natural light & fill flash to get the best results.

    Just use a good bore cleaner such as Hoppes no 9. Otherwise any dirt or contamination could be interpreted as pitting or frosting of the bore due to corrosive ammunition use and neglect.

    Unfortunately I do not have any gun cleaners... Wehrmacht_45, Is there anything "in the household" that is safe & sufficient that I could use to clean the bore?

    mix some acetone and transmission Dextron fluid. Smelly but works ok with some elbow grease as a cheap bore cleaner. The specific formula can be found if you Google "Eds Red Bore Cleaner Formula" Or if nothing else some good 3 in 1 oil or WD40 might get plain dirt out but wont do much for any real lead or copper fouling if its present.
