I have been struggling to find information related to my CZ 75 Pre-B. It is a 1985 manufactured model and the finish is Matte Black.
I intend using this in some IPSC Production class shooting, but the guys here in South Africa aren't used to seeing the matte black finished ones and are questioning whether it was recoated.
I know it hasn't been recoated as my father owned it since new.
Where could I find info related to this finish and when it was introduced etc?

Write CZ UB in the Czech Republic I am sure they would tell you. I had an 85 Combat in that same finish if that helps.

Yes I did send them the question as well. Just hoping someone here may know a bit more about it though. Or have some kind of documentation.

It looks parkerized and I seem to remember reading that was a finish CZ did periodically.

i dont know of any info other than maybe an older catalog showing the fininshes.
I remember that at one time when CZ had drop down menus for caliber it also showed finishes. I have seen Flat black 75s offered FS from time to time too.

Hopefully CZ UB will be able to go off the serial number and should be able to tell you exactly what finish came on that pistol. That is a very nice looking Pre B by the way.

I will look into that, thanks.

Tried their site, but can't find anything really usefull for such an old firearm.

Yes, I sent them the serial number, so hoping they can let me have the detail.
Thanks, it does look very nice. I have all those original parts still, but then I also have these for it.

Forgive the ignorance but why should the finish matter?

IPSC has a Production rule the finish MUST be factory, no exceptions. You want your gun refinished you have to send it back to the factory for refinishing. Apparently nobody at IPSC HQ has tried to ship a gun from Canada/US to the Czech Republic recently. I suspect it can be done but life is to short to attempt the paper work.
Take Care
