- The PA-63 was imported in large numbers by K.B.I., Inc., of Harrisburg, PA. Imported by Century International Arms of St. Albans, VT, the AP9 is a commercial.380 ACP version of the PA-63 service pistol, with the same white alloy frame and two-tone appearance.
- Both my PA 63 and SMC are in like new condition with a deep polish blue reminiscent of the finest of US blue jobs yet the PA was made for military use, the SMC must have been for export as it is in.380 caliber. I just checked and the serial number is repeated on the slide under the ejection port.
What is the CZ-50 or CZ-70 pistol?
The ČZ-52 pistol is a very popular Czech military surplus firearm. However, there is some confusion between that pistol and other similiarly designated ones from the same armory. Let's see what the ČZ-50 and ČZ-70 pistols really are.
Let's start with the name of the CZ-50.
The pistol is commonly called the CZ-50. However, it isn't exactly a CZ-50 (or CZ-70, for that matter). The real name is Česká Zbrojovka vzor 50, usually shortened to ČZ vz. 50.
The Czech name Česká Zbrojovka means 'Czech Armory'. You would pronounce it as Cheska Zbroyovka. To be completely authentic, a Czech would pronounce ČZ as cha zet.
Vzor, commonly abbreviated as vz., means 'model'.
So, a literal translation of its full name is the Czech Armory Model 50. Compare that to a name like the Springfield Armory Model 1911.
Background
The Ministry of the Interior requested a new pistol design from ČZUB, Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod, soon after World War II. ČZUB is a major arms producer in the small town of Uherský Brod in the Czech province of Moravia.
The resulting design was a close copy of the Walther PP and PPK in .32 ACP. It was designated as the ČZ-50 or vz. 50.
The ČZ-50 was sold commercially, but most were produced for the Ministry of the Interior, who issued them to law enforcement agencies.
In 1970, a variant with some minor cosmetic changes appeared. It was known as the ČZ-70 or vz. 70. The most significant change was in the grip. The rear surface of the new grip was curved rather than straight. It had a larger 'tang' or recess for the web between thumb and first finger. The grip pattern was a grid of dimples in place of the earlier grooves. Other changes included:
- The top of the slide was engraved with a fine wave pattern intended to reduce glare.
- The serial number was now stamped on the slide under the ejection port, rather than below and behind it.
- The slide serations became wider and more numerous
- The take-down lever surface was cross hatched rather than grooved.
- The hammer was enlarged, and a hole drilled through it.
- The magazine release was made smaller.
- The base of the new magazine was made less curved and more angular.
Markings
Many Vz 50s bear a Czech government property stamp bearing crossed swords.
Serial numbers on the vz. 50 start at 650,001, starting from the discontinued serial number range of the vz. 27 pistol.
Pistols manufactured at the Strakonice factory end in the 740,000 range.
Pistols manufactured at Uherský Brod have 5-digit serial numbers preceded by a letter. That letter can change in the middle of a serial number series!
The proof stamp is a lion superimposed on an 'N', stamps on the left rear of the slide. The last two digits of the year of manufacture Epiphone serial numbers meaning. are stamped next to the proof stamp.

The PA-63 was the official Hungarian Army sidearm from 1963 until 1996, chambered for the 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. Jira keygen.jar.

Typical PA-63 markings are on the left side of the frame, between the trigger and the grip panel. The serial numbers are usually 2 letters and 4 numbers. The circled 'M' and the heart-shape circled 'I' are inspection marks. The small Hungarian crest with the 2-digit date are the acceptance marks. The '7's are a bit weird often look like '1's. Acceptance dates as early as 1947 have been observed on the PA-63's, obviously a few older guns were rebuilt into PA-63's. Note to the collectors: Pistols with dates over 50 years old qualify for C&R (Curio & Relic) FFL.
