Zastava M70A 9mm Luger Semi-Auto Pistol, Blued, Full-Size, Matching Numbers, Made in Yugoslavia
This Zastava Arms M70A is a Yugoslavia-made, full-size, steel-framed 9mm Luger pistol with matching serial numbers on the frame, slide, and barrel. It carries authentic factory rollmarks, an ELBRIDGE NY import mark, and a classic blued finish. Fixed iron sights, black synthetic ribbed grips with Zastava medallions, and a lanyard loop round out a configuration that appeals to buyers who value original features and markings.
Key functional elements include a single-action trigger, external hammer, left-side frame-mounted manual safety with a red index dot, a magazine disconnect safety, and a half-cock notch. The pistol feeds from a single-stack 9-round magazine (9+1 capacity) and uses a short-recoil, tilting-barrel system. It comes with one magazine and a Falco nylon belt-clip holster.

Made in Yugoslavia, this M70A retains period-correct factory rollmarks, including cursive "Zavodi Crvena Zastava" and Zastava circular logos, alongside "MADE IN YUGOSLAVIA" and an ELBRIDGE NY import mark. These markings provide desirable provenance and authenticity.
The pistol is built on a full-size, all-steel platform with a blued finish on the slide, frame, and receiver. Its operating system is short-recoil with a tilting barrel, paired with a single-action trigger and an external hammer.
Controls include a push-button magazine release and a left-side, frame-mounted manual safety with a red index dot. Additional safety features are a magazine disconnect and a half-cock notch. A lanyard loop at the rear of the grip frame adds a practical field detail.
Ergonomics and aiming are straightforward, with black synthetic, vertically ribbed grips featuring Zastava medallions, and fixed iron sights with a front blade and rear notch.
Dimensions and capacity are well-suited to a service-style sidearm: an approximate 4.6 in barrel, about 200 mm overall length, and roughly 27.5 oz unloaded weight. The single-stack magazine provides a 9+1 capacity in 9mm Luger.
