thank you sir the 53 stamping threw me offThat is a CZ-52 , The 53 is I think a date. It was a regular issued side arm for the Czechoslovakian army. Be careful dropping the decocker, they will occasionally go off when decocked. It is roller locked like an HK. Fun to shoot and will run hot ammo. Most of the surplus is corrosive. Can be converted to 9mm with a barrel change
