Title: Post war DUO's
Post by: czechollector on January 09, 2017, 03:41:16 PM

Were any made in '46 or '47? I've never seen any with those dates on them.

This reference states that the DUO was made till 1948.

Like you I've never seen one with a date past 1945

I also have a '48, plus a '49 and a '50.  Just have to wonder what happened to the 46's and 47's.

I also have a rarity. Probably someone drunk at the factory! It is labeled and stampped as both a Duo and a Z. I have had various people look into and apparently a fluke. You would be surprised what is out there. James Brown's book on Czech pistols has every duo/z pictured and serial number ranges. Its a great read and there are still copies easily obtained. A must for any CZ colletor!

I have that book and yes, it's a must for any CZ collector. Used it a few times to verify a GB auction description ?
