Built on a CZ-75-pattern derivative design, this Mod. TZ 75 is a DA/SA, hammer-fired semi-auto with a spur-style exposed hammer and a slide-mounted lever at the left rear of the slide. The lever function is not labeled on this example, so safety vs. safety/decocker is unspecified.
It features a dark blued/black finish across the metal frame and slide, along with rear slide serrations and a squared trigger guard. The dust cover shows no accessory rail, matching the clean, early-style configuration noted for the Pre-Series 88 pattern.
Sight setup is iron sights with a front blade and a rear notch that appears dovetail-mounted. The pistol wears smooth, glossy wood grip panels with one slotted grip screw per side, giving it a distinctive period-correct look.
Markings include "CAL. 9 mm. PARABELLUM" and "READ WARNINGS BEFORE USING GUN. MANUAL FREE FROM F.I.E. MIAMI, FLA." The date code "AN" is specifically noted, and the barrel visible through the ejection port is described as bright/polished.
