CZ 75 Pre-B Buffs Please Chime In

[RPIcka]

Found a Pre-B CZ 75 with an adjustable rear sight that could pass as factory. Did these have an option for that in the early years or is this a gunsmith add on?

I have never seen a Pre B 75 with an adjustable sight. The sights on mine are fixed. Now I do believe that it was available on the Pre B 85's.

Mine has a fixed sight as well.

Ya the two I own are fixed as well.

Well the one I have does have adjustable sights as well and is cosmetically done up.

Im not sure myself how original it is. Maybe it is ?

I can say with certainty, that Ive not seen one like how mine is set up.

I have always wondered if its some commemorative edition .. worth more ? - not that it would really matter to me, since its was my first pistol and its still used often since its so cheep to shoot.

That is a very rare and very early CZ75, what's the manufacture date (on the extractor cut) - I've seen your pics of this before, I'm convinced that it was made as a presentation piece for some 3rd world dictator (perhaps Suharto, or one of his henchmen) as a 'Thanks for your Order' gun, or possibly as a retirement piece for an exec.

I have not seen a preB with adjustable an sight, but that does not mean it does not exist.

I have a very old CZ brouchure and they do advertise pre-b's with adjustable sights. May not be so common here but they were made.

Pics of that brochure?

The manufactures date is 1979 as per the pic.

And this is whats its capable of after it was sighted in for 124g ball -******** I just clued in, after I posted this target up...the damn pistol is 34 years young and it shoots just fine. LOL.*******

Beautiful pistol, it would be great to know it's history. I very much doubt that in 1979 it was built for the western market. After all people were still defecting in 1979.
