1984 CZ-75 with original box

ARMY MEDIC
Hey Guys:
Greetings to all! I also have a 1984 CZ-75 in its original locking combination box, instruction manual, two magazines and cleaning kit. It is in great shape with only minor scratching on one side and less that 500 rounds fired. It was bought in Germany and has no import marks anywhere. Out of curiosity, does anybody know how much it is worth?
Thank you!

    Check the online gun auctions for actual selling price. Since various versions of the CZ 75 have been imported and sold in great quantities over the last 20 years, not likely to be a big buck item. In the condition you describe I believe 30% less then the current retail price, would be the top dollar you could get out of it.

    It may be early enough to be a "pre-B" gun, in which case value goes up...

    There was a 1985 sell for $450.00 auction # 182647341
    With box and 2 magazines. About $200.00 TOO CHEAP.

    A 1984 date of manufacture means it definitely *IS* a "Pre-B" gun. The "B" series wasn't introduced until the late 80s.

    Pre-B guns are worth a *little* more in the USA, because of their relative scarcity (direct imports were restricted for a while), but there are a LOT of them floating around globally.

    Price in excellent condition, with original box, original plastic "waffle" grips (see below; don't ask me why, but these are highly prized) and accessories you mention (mags may be hand-numbered to the gun) maybe $500-600 EDIT, OK maybe $450-550. . the economy is pretty weak now, and its not a good time to sell guns.


    Personally, I wouldn't sell it unless desperate for cash. The pre-B guns are just excellent firearms, and they're scarce enough that they probably aren't easily replaceable at this time.

    Edit: For Lee. Glad you found one you liked at a good price. I think you'll be happy with it. I know I like mine; I've tried pretty much all of them by this point, and this is my favorite "service" type 9mm.

    Note that the main functional difference between the "Pre-B" and CZ-75B is that the "B" guns have a series-80 style firing pin safety that slightly degrades the trigger pull. The newer ones also have a commander-style ring (not spur) hammer, and that silly 80s hooked triggerguard.

    For what its worth, I believe the gun depicted above is also a made-in-1984 bring-back from an American soldier stationed in Germany in the 80s.

    There was a German sporting goods company called Frankonia (it still exists) that used to import these by the crate, then modify them into semi-custom guns. Because the Communist Czech economy was so absolutely lousy, they could get the guns dirt cheap, polish them up, and still turn around and sell them at a better price than the nice domestic German Walthers and SIGs and such. I understand they were pretty popular for that reason.

    I think this one is one of these touched up guns. Its had some fairly significant modifications done, including bobbed hammer, altered triggerguard, and front and backstrap checkering. It may also have had a trigger-job; the SA trigger is probably 4.5 lbs.

    For what its worth, the two-tone finish isn't as nice as it looks. Like many of the original CZ-75s, the black enamel finish on the slide is pretty fragile, and its chipping/rubbing off in places. I figure eventually I'll get the slide refinished in some similar-looking, but more durable finish like Duracoat.

    Beantown, you don't gotta be such a show-off with the PreB two tone sport.... I mean your just making everyone else jealous ;) *jk

    I stuck it out and waited around till I found a good deal and got my PreB for $450, no import marks. I commonly ran across Bauska and AAI import marked for the same price range, but they go quick. Seems like there is always one around somewhere for $550 though.
