Overall Appears in Excellent Like New Condition. More From The Internet Below: The Cold War years saw the development and introduction of a number of interesting designs which can be considered early Personal Defense Weapons or PDWs. These compact weapons were intended to be issued to military troops whose job specialty did not require or allow them to carry a full-?sized rifle, but might require something more than a standard service pistol. At the same time, due to their very small nature they were a natural for employment by elite commando or Special Forces units, for certain covert missions. Noteworthy examples of this breed include the Soviet 9x18mm APS ?Stechkin? machine pistol, Polish 9x18mm pm wz.63 ?Rak?, US 9mm Parabellum M11 submachine gun and the Czechoslovak 7.65mm vz. 61 Skorpion. Of this group, the Czech vz. 61 Skorpion stands out due to its small size, interesting design and the cartridge it is chambered for. Among their many interesting offerings is a line of Czech manufactured Skorpion semi-?automatic pistols. These are available in the original .32 ACP (7.65mm) as well as .380 ACP (9x17mm) and 9mm Makarov. Manufactured by Czech Small Arms (C.S.A.) located in Jablunka, Czech Republic, this semi-?automatic variation of the vz. 61 Skorpion is imported into the US by Czechpoint, Inc. of Knoxville, TN. A fascinating piece, it will be of interest to any collector or shooter intrigued by the Cold War and Warsaw Pact small arms. It is a piece of living history with a design which reaches back to a forgotten era.
