Hello Opah here
Avid Hunter, shooter and fisherman when hunting an d shooting are not available. Hoping someone could help me we this CZ pistol I have. I am planning on gifting it to my grandson for his first Hunting side arm and is second training pistol, but when I went to find the caliber (did not see the 7.65 stamp at first) I have yet to find this pistol.
I have had this for a while, never shot it in fact up tell tonight did not know the caliber
Can't seem to get the picture to attach ?
Well maybe this will work, on the Barrel it says:
CZ stamp C with a v on top, FSK, A with // over it, ZBROJOVKA-PRAHA 7.65 IN A CIRCLE
Maybe someone could help me attach the picture

Ill get this

We really need to see the entire gun (frame, shape of trigger guard, slide, grip, etc.) in order to fully identify.
Also there should be a 2-digit year stamped on the right hand side of the slide. That also helps in identifcation.
Did you follow the Wikipedia link to see a typical picture of a CZ 27?

I don't see the takedown latch, so I'm thinking vz 50 or vz 70.
-
Yes I did, it differs some. Ill get a full pistol picture and post it Monday
On the Pictures posted if you use the zoom to reduce the picture to 25%
you can see from the hand forward.

Hope you’re looking as good as that vz. 50 at 61.

Be advised that the Vz 50/70's don't like to feed the US dimension hollow-point ammo.
Both of mine experience rim lock in the magazine.
-
Do you have suggestions ?
Brand, type, bullet ?
A hollow point is preferable, but not if it is going to Jam constantly.
Wouldn't Hurt to try some different brands of Hollow point ?

Now the writing on the Barrel is in Czech, pretty much figured out in was made in Praha Czech in 1959.
Am I true in saying this is a true Czech CZ VZ 50, not a knock off

I am not familiar with anyone making vz 50 knock-offs.
In 7.65 Br (.32 ACP), hollowpoints probably won't expand much, but could limit the effective penetration (time for a Paul Harrell meat-target test on mouse gun ammo).
If you stick to European brands of 7.65/.32 (e.g. S&B, Fiocchi, PPU), the extractor groove and rim shape will be optimal for your pistol.

I noticed that you posted two photos with different markings of the left side so I’ll presume one is a borrowed photo for illustrative purposes? The vz 50 had four marking variations over its production span. As Eastman indicated, I’m also not aware of any copies being produced.
-
Yes, you're correct. It's really built in Prague. There's no financial incentive to create copies of these guns, because there are so many originals available.

Value wise it's value would be in the condition which appears to be very good. Still lot of shooters looking for CZ guns in 32 acp.

I thought the vz50 pistols were made in the Strakonice factory?
-
Good point... they were built both in Strakonice and in Uherský Brod. I don't own a CZ 50 or a CZ 70, so I don't know how they were stamped at the factory. I just did a quick Google image search, and I don't see any other pistols marked this way....
So... it may be something special. Anyone else have a vz. 50 marked this way? I've got to look at the original picture more.

The first CZ50 pistols were made at Strakonice from 1950 through 1952 when production was paused to concentrate on the military CZ52 pistol. Production resumed in 1957 at the Uherský Brod factory and ended in 1970.
I have a CZ50 stamped 58, which means it was made in 1958. The markings on the slide, and frame beneath, in the OPs pics are not of the same era as my CZ. We need pics of both sides of the entire pistol to properly identify it.
My slide markings look like this

If it's a CZ50/70 the takedown button should be forward of the trigger guard, on the frame, on the ejection side of the pistol.
