Questions about CZ27 year 1943

Hallo
my CZ27 looks in great shape, I shoot it every now and then and it is always reliable.
I have some questions about it, hope some experienced people can answer.
First of all, is possible to know the manufacturing month from the s/n 158549?
Second thing, the barrel is stamped with the WaA 76. I know there should be another waffenamt on the slide, but I couldn't find out neither on the slide or the frame. Is this possible? All the serial numbers (frame, slide and barrel) match.
I would like also to hear comments about the gun and its condition.
Finally, I'm curious to know the prices in the USA, I bought this gun in Italy for about 350 Euros. I don't remember exactly, as I purchased it together with a Beretta M35 and a Carcano bayonet in a very good condition with scabbard and folder, all these for 650 Euros.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards
Antonio

Antonio, I believe that I see an E/76 WaA on the right side of your frame, above the grips. Also the top of the slide will be WaAed aft of the maker's marking. TH

Hi Tom,
above the right grip should be the place for the WaA 76 mark, but there is not. From the picture it appears as something was stamped, but from visual inspection (also using a loop) you can't find anything.
The WaA stamp should also be on top of the rail, usually between PRAG and the s/n. From the picture you can see that the surface is missing this stamp.
Furthermore, the gun has commercial acceptance stamps (lion/N) on the barrel and on the receiver.
I don't think the serial numbers were faked, the man who sold me the pistol didn't mention the WaA 76 and I found it later, after an accurate cleaning.
I cannot imagine the reason why this gun has both civilian and military stamps.
Best regards
Antonio
