CZ 83 CAL 7.65 BROWNING magazine question

[dduggan69]

I bought the gun last year, it only came with 1 magazine. So I bought a 2nd from Greg Coat.
My question.. is the first magazine (left in pic) a super old rare CZ magazine?
I was told the metal button on the follower is a last round hold open.  thank in advance

That's interesting!  I am trying to remember if any of the old CZ82 mag I had had the little button.  Thanks for sharing.

It is early, as it does nor have the dimples in the bottoms of the sides like my early 9x18 that also doesn't have them.

Should I put it up or keep using?
Does it have any real value?
Thank in advance

I'd just use it.  You won't wear it out, and there really isn't much collectability of early CZ83 mags.

The magazine that came with my 7.65mm Browning CZ83 has the same button.

Glad to hear there are other mags like mine out there, I was unable to find info on them.
I swap between my CZ 82 9x18 and CZ 83 7.65 as EDC, both are great pistols.
