CZ Newb Question
« on: January 26, 2015, 06:16:20 PM »
So....just today I picked up a CZ 85B that was produced in 1994 I believe....came with all original accessories...box, docs, brush, etc.  Here's my question, the paperwork inside the case is typed in german I believe with english typed beneath it to explain what is says.  The pistol itself has some sort of engraving on the barrel just before the serial number and it also has an engraving on the slide above the ejector with a 94 beside it!  Is this a German pistol that was imported or is this the norm for states made cz's?  Thanks in advance,

Steve

Maybe a GI bring back?

Any import marks on the pistol? I'm not sure if the importer in '94 was CZ-USA in Cali or whatever outfit imported before that.
I had the right to remain silent...

but not the ability.

Yep, it's Czech. The first picture shows the importer. MRI Minneapolis, MN.  The engraving is supposed to be a lion I believe. All normal, nice early B model [emoji6]
