Originally developed by Mauser the design for the VZ22 was bought out by CZ and produced circa 1922-1924 when the improved VZ24 model was introduced. It has fixed sights with the caliber and address markings on the left side of the frame, "S(lion)6" on the trigger guard, and "1 1DPS3 1" on the front strap. With a "dub" marked brown leather flap holster. A very attractive and rare handgun.

Very fine with 75% of the original blue finish, showing areas of gray patina, bright edge wear, and scattered scratches and handling marks. The front strap markings are double-struck. The grips are very good showing moderate wear with some mild scattered dings. The holster is very good with some scuffing and stains. Mechanically excellent.
