After several years I can finally close the quest for a 1983 CZ 75!
Congrats! That looks to have a plum blued frame. Beautiful.
Thanks Psyop96! Not the greatest picture to show the contrast of plum frame and dark blued slide.
I wasn?t 100% sure I?d bought an ?83 ? there was only a couple of blurry pics available from the seller and when I called to get date of manufacture that couldn?t be provided but they had logged the serial number (low 75xxx)?that fell within what I believe the s/n range to be for that year.
Obviously as soon as I got my hands on it I checked the date stamp ? it is indeed 1983 production. It came with manual, test target and 2 mags and initial inspection suggests it has never been fired since leaving the factory!!
A very happy holiday season indeed
