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. An early example of the vz50, this example carries an early serial no, (starting at 65,001) and a Czech State Security 'NB' stamp and the date 1950. Magazine lacks the plastic grip extension so may not be original.
