It had to have been made under German occupation because the markings are in German, not the original Czech. Actually, the Model [19]27 in 7.65mm was made only for the Germans. The original Czech pistol, the Vzor (Model) 24, was made for the 9mm Short (.380 ACP) but that ammunition was not in the German supply system, so they had the Czechs convert the gun to 7.65mm which not only brought it into conformity with the German ammo supply system but also allowed used of a simpler blowback system rather than the turning barrel locked breech system used for the Vz 24.
