Manufactured in Czechoslovakia, this pistol draws obvious inspiration from Browning's hammerless designs but also contains some novel features. The takedown is similar to Browning's design'; however, rotating the barrel also captures the recoil spring, and the firing pin and extractor are installed in a separate sub-assembly which drops free to expose the barrel for inspection and cleaning without having to engage in further disassembly. Blade and notch sights, narrow top-mounted ejector port, "Zbrojovka Praga" legend in unique font on the left side ahead of a rampant lion proof, "NPp" (Ferlach c. 1891-1931) and matching numbers on the slide, frame, firing pin assembly and grips. "483" is stamped on the back strap, possibly a rack or inventory number. With a pair of serrated grips.

Very fine with 80% of the original blue finish showing bright edge wear and shallow pitting on the high edges, mild handling marks and scattered spotting. Grips are fine with some mild dings and dents overall. Mechanically excellent.
