Title: CZ MARKINGS AND ORIGIN?
Post by: bobsleatherworks on August 12, 2010, 07:55:46 PM

I recently purchased an older, beat up CZ82...love it, but haven't fired it yet.

Regardless, I know millions were made and hopefully someone can help me learn something from the markings on the slide and the SN.

SN: 146595 on the slide and barrel

"she 89X" on the right side of frame above trigger guard

small circle with a "T" inside and inside a larger circle up at the 11:00 position

small circle that could be a "T" inside it and on the barrel in front of and slightly above the SN. Top of "T" is worn off.

Left side of slide: MDL CZ82 9MM CZECH
below slide SN: C.A.T.  GEORGIA VT.

Thanks for any information you can provide!

That stamp should be "CAI Georgia VT" for Century International Arms.  They switch their initials around for obvious reasons.
