Pistole CZ vz/50

Description

CZ vz 50 was a Czech copy of the Walther PP series, designed after WW2. Design was modified in 1970 to become the CZ vz 70 but differences are minimal. This example would appear to be 1970 dated, and has many vz50 components but some features of 70 design, as a very late model some of these may be transitional features, or exchanged parts.

Marks and Stamps: (Lside of slider) Trademark VZOR 50 CAL 7.65 MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA Date stamp 70 (R side on slider and barrel) Serial no.
