Daniel:
Welcome to the Forum, and many thanks for verifying the CZ75 importation by GIs. When were you stationed in Germany? I think you got a pretty good price for your CZ, maybe even better than you could get today. I think only a collector of CZs would pay a premium for an early CZ75, although we do have a CZ fan here who bought an early one, IIRC. Maybe he (Eric) can comment? I know the feeling of being offered a lot of money for a favored firearm, and can certainly relate to your accepting the offer. Did you replace the CZ with another pistol? Same with the PP? Now that you've posted on the Forum, can you tell us what your firearms interests are these days? We're pretty friendly and relaxed here and welcome new members. If you have comments or questions, please let us hear from you. Harvey |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Yes we were allowed to purchase them when we were stationed there. The local Rod and Gun Club at McNair Barracks in Berlin was where I got mine and wish I still had it. It was stamped as being made in Czechlasovakia (or however it's spelled) and not the Czech Republic. It was a very nice pistol to say the least and was my favorite as well but when someone wants it so bad they come up with a ludicrous amount of money for it, it's hard to pass that kind of money up for a pistol. I believe I got $1,500.00 for it. I would kind of like to know what the actual value of it would be on today's market. Anyway, the pistol was fantastic but the black coating chipped easily. That was the only gripe I had about the weapon. It outshot every weapon I owned at that time. The other weapon I bought at the Rod and Gun Club was the Walther PP with an East German makers mark. I sold it as well but wish I still had it also. |
