CZ Model 52 7.62×25mm Tokarev Pistol

This CZ Model 52, also known as the CZ 52 or vz. 52 pistol, is a Czechoslovak military semi-automatic handgun chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev. Originally developed during the early Cold War, the CZ 52 is recognized for its distinctive roller-locked operating system, angular steel construction, and ribbed grip panels.

This example features a black finish, dark brown ribbed grips, fixed iron sights, and a heel-style magazine release. One detachable steel magazine is included, as shown in the photographs. The pistol displays visible finish wear, handling marks, and age-related cosmetic wear, particularly around the grip and metal surfaces. It is an interesting example for collectors of Czechoslovak military firearms and Cold War-era surplus pistols.
