The ČZ handgun models 50 and 70 are available to Western collectors today but were both developed and produced behind the Iron Curtain. These pistols were seldom seen and little understood for decades. Now they are widely available for purchase, and this book fills the information gap.

In the years since the release of his Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia, author James D. Brown has continued his research and maintained contact with experts and collectors from all over the world. The result is the most complete database of information on Czech handguns from the Cold War period.

The vz. 50 and vz. 70 were designed and produced for the Czech police by Česká zbrojovka, better known as "ČZ," one of the oldest and most important firearms manufacturers in the world.

This new reference work describes the production history, markings, operation, performance, maintenance, and accessories of the "ČZ 50" and "ČZ 70." Along with detailed text and tables, readers will enjoy 290 photographs.

Along with Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia, James D Brown coauthored Japanese Military Cartridge Handguns, a work described by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons as "an example of a firearms reference done right."

Brown, James D.: - James D. "Jim" Brown, a native of Davidson, North Carolina, was born in 1949 and has been a shooter and collector of military weapons for most of his life. He volunteered for the draft in 1968 and served with the Fourth Infantry Division in Vietnam, attaining the rank of sergeant and earning the Bronze Star, Air Medal, Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry, and Combat Infantryman's Badge. He utilized the GI Bill to earn a BS degree with honors from North Carolina State University in 1974, followed by two years of graduate study. In 1978 he joined the US Forest Service, working as a forester on five national forests and as a specialist in the Southern Regional Office in Atlanta, Georgia, until retiring in 2008. He developed skills as a writer-editor through years of data analysis and reporting and has contributed numerous articles to firearms-collecting periodicals. In 2003 he coauthored Japanese Military Cartridge Handguns, 1893-1945 with the late Harry L. Derby III, followed by the Collector's Guide to Imperial Japanese Handguns, 1893-1945 in 2007. In 2009 he published Cold War Pistols of Czechoslovakia and has continued the study of Czech arms through today. Jim Resides in Buford, Georgia, with Sue, his wife of 50 years.
