I purchased an 83 cz in Italy (photo linked)seven days ago - expert opinion..

[raffaeleciaraldi]

hello everyone and thank you for joining the group. I purchased in Italy a week ago a beautiful specimen (of course I am) of cz 83. The writing on the gun carriage is different from the classic model 83 9 browning and I think this specimen is very rare. I ask the group if anyone can give me an indication of the writing MRI MPLS MN. Finally, the circle seen near the serial number seems to have originally had the "crossed swords" that I have read to be a mark of military weapons. Same for that next to the year 95. Can you help me understand these particularities? the magazines have at the base two holes on the right side and it seems that this too derives from the demilitarization of the weapon that originally had perhaps the "crossed swords" also on the magazines.
Last question the rear and front sights look identical to those of the cz 75 so is it? The rear sight is high from the base 8 mm and 01.

salve a tutti e ringrazio per iscrizione al grippo. Ho acquistato in Italia una settimana fa un bellissimo esemplare (a mio guidizio ovviamente) di cz 83. Le scritte sul carrello della pistola sono diverse dal classico model 83 9 browning e penso che questo esemplare sia molto raro. Chiedo al gruppo se qualcuno sa darmi indicazione della scritte MRI MPLS MN. Infine il cerchio che si vede vicino alla matricola sembra che in origine avesse le "spade incrociate" che ho letto essere marchio della armi militari. Stesso per quello vicono all'anno 95. Potete aitarmi a capire queste particolarità ? i caricatori hanno alla  base due buchi lato destro e sembra che anche questo sia derivante dalla demilitarizzazione dell'arma che originariamente aveva forse le "spade incrociate" anche sui caricatori.
Ultima domanda le mire posteriori e anteriori a me sembrano identiche a quelle della cz 75 è così? La tacca di mira è alta dalla base 8 mm e 01.

Probabilmente dovrai tradurre riga per riga o utilizzare un sito simile in italiano

Thanks Grendel also for the info on the photos. I will use my modest knowledge of English and Google Translate. In Italy such Forums do not exist ..... the homeland of arms is America there is nothing to do

I have seen CZ83 pistols with the military acceptance mark crossed swords, but don't own one.

MRI MPLS MN is the US import mark that stands for Magnum Research Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you also know if the specimens with these writings are rare? I searched the internet in the various videos showing the cz but all of them have the writing cz 83 mod 9 browning made in CZ (obviously extended CZ)

Grazie per il chiarimento. Sai anche se gli esemplari con queste scritte sono rari ? Ho cercato su internet nei vari filmati che mostrano le cz ma tutte hanno la scritta cz 83 mod 9 browning made in CZ (esteso ovviamente CZ)

I have not tracked the CZ 82/83 like the CZ 75 (see pinned top post in that club on the Forum) so I can’t make any estimates on their numbers. MRI also started importing the CZ 75B in 1994 into the USA before CZ-USA was established in 1996 as the company-owned importer. I don’t think one can consider the MRI ones as rare or collectible in the US market just for the import mark. The .380 Auto marking is unusual though. It might be more unusual to have an MRI marked pistol show up in Italy though but again, I have no knowledge of how these MRI /.380 Auto pistols turned up in Italy 

Congrats on the nice CZ 83. I believe 9x19 Para/Luger is not permitted for civilian ownership in Italy?

Thanks for the reply !! Yes, in Italy the cz83s (but also in Europe I would say) with MRI writings and .380 caliber diction cars instead of 9 brownings are at least rare. I also wondered how a weapon imported into America eventually ended up in Italy. Maybe some US military from NATO bases because no Italian importer would have ordered I suppose weapons from America instead of directly from CZ. Another oddity is that a weapon imported into the USA has the marks with crossed swords on the weapon and on magazines even if they are demilirated with "holes where the swords were crossed on the" magazines "and a bad attempt to cancel by punch superimposed on the" frame " of the weapon on the right side near the year of production and always on the right side almost at the apex near the viewfinder (you can see the circle from the photos).
Yes I confirm you in Italy out of pure bureaucratic madness 9 x 19 is forbidden as well as all expansive balls. But the solution with the 9 x 21 Italico with two mm in puu length of the cartridge case has greatly improved the ammunition believe me especially for those who use it in "open". Even for the purposes of personal defense those two mm more with the doses adapted with the vs gorgeous AA5 make the difference. I know that many American sports shooters today start using 9x21 instead of 9x19.

thanks for the compliments in fact it is a beautiful specimen and in Italy / Europe very rare

Grazie per la risposta !! Si in Italia le cz83 (ma anche in europa direi) con scritte MRI e dizione calibro .380 auto al posto di 9 browning sono quantomeno rare. Anche io mi sono chiesto come un'arma importata in America alla fine sia finita in Italia. Forse qualche militare USA delle basi Nato perchè nessuno importatore italiano avrebbe ordinato suppongo armi dall'america invece che direttamente dalla CZ. Altra stranezza è che un'arma importata in USA abbia i marchi con le spade incrociate su arma e su caricatori pur se demiliratizzati con "buchi dove erano le spade incrociate sui "magazine" e un pessimo tentativo di cancellazione tramite punzone sovrapposto sul "frame" dell'arma lato destro vicino ad anno produzione e avanti sempre lato destro quasi ad apice vicino al mirino (puoi vederlo dalle foto il cerchietto) .
Si ti confermo in Italia per pura follia burocratica il 9 x 19 è vietato così come tutte le palle espansive. Però la soluzione con il 9 x 21 Italico con due mm in puù di lunghezza del bossolo ha migliorato moltissimo la munizione credimi sopratutto per chi la usa in "open" . Anche ai fini della difesa personale quei due mm in più con le dosi polveri adegate cone la vs stupenda AA5 fanno la differenza. So che oggi molti tiratori sportivi americani iniziano ad usare il 9 x 21 al posto del 9 x 19
