The vz. 70 combines a compact size with a fixed 3.75 in barrel and simple blowback operation in .32 ACP. Its DA/SA trigger system and 8+1 capacity make it a practical sidearm from the era.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish on the frame and slide. Functional details include wide rear slide serrations and an anti-glare rib. The ring-style spurred hammer and black checkered plastic grips with the CZ roundel (waffle pattern) complete the classic profile.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed front blade and a fixed rear square notch. Controls include a manual safety and a decocker, consistent with the vz. 70 design.
Markings and provenance are clear and traceable: Czech lion over N proof with an adjacent "76" date, matching serial numbers across major components, and an import mark from Century Arms International in Georgia, VT.
