Which CZ 32 pistol VZ70 model do I have?

Wulfmann

I have the below pictured CZ pistol in 7.65MM 32 cal. It says on the side
VZOR 70 7.65
Made in Czechoslovakia

Century import marked

The blue book shows two different models listed. (no pics)

One is named the CZ-50/70 in 32ACP
and says it is a double action blow back loaded chamber indicator Imported by Century.
The 90% price is $100.00
and 98% is $125.00

The other says
CZ-70 7.65MM/32ACP cal
Similar to Walther PP
90% is $275.00
98% is $350.00
and very few imported (but does not say by who)

My gun is Century import marked but can anyone see a loaded indicator in the pic?

The price difference is obviously why I would like to know what it is.
The gun shoots super, is very accurate and well made so hard to see how it would be a $100.00 gun with the quality it shows but, does anyone know??

Notice the marking on the slide, i.e.( "VZOR 70" ) checkered grips & hole in hammer. No question in my mind is that your pistol is CZ or VZ 70.

It was always my understanding that the VZ 70 was just a product improved version of the VZ 50. No idea why the B B would consider it to have a 200% greater value?

Thanks,
I do not see this worth $350.00, That seems too high for this pistol in spite of the obvious high quality.
But, I am glad you feel it is the higher dollar one.

However, I can not see it as a $100.00 pistol in any way either.

There were numerous variations of the CZ-50/70. I suspect that if you have one imported illegally (without import markings), it would be worth a substantial premium to a military collector.

This CZ-50 was imported by Intrac, Knoxville, TN. With it's 25 lb trigger pull & rough finish, I think it's worth close to the $100 that it originally cost:

Read his post again his gun is Century import marked" [:)]

ATF is correct and the BB does say the more desirable and expensive version was legally imported just in small numbers.

It really is nicely made and the holster is very nice as well. Very accurate and of course, with only a 32 it has no felt recoil.
