Made in Czechoslovakia in 1985, this pre-B variant is marked "MODEL 75 CAL. 9 PARA" on the slide and "MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA" on the frame. It also bears Czechoslovak proof marks on the barrel hood and the Bauska Kalispell MT import mark, confirming its import history. The serial number is repeated on the slide, frame, and barrel hood.
The pistol uses a short-recoil, Browning-type tilting barrel system and a hammer-fired DA/SA trigger. A frame-mounted manual safety allows cocked-and-locked use. Controls include a push-button magazine release and a spur hammer.
Construction is all steel with the slide riding inside the frame rails and an internal extractor. Sighting is via fixed iron sights with a front blade and a square-notch rear. Black checkered synthetic grips with CZ medallions round out the classic configuration.
This full-size 9mm Luger features a 4.7 inch barrel and a 16+1 capacity. The combination of its pre-B configuration, Cold War-era origin, import mark, and matching serial placement on major components makes it a well-documented example of an early CZ 75.
