Buddy of mine just bought one. Not only did it have the Star of David on it but was also stamped "Mossad" which I thought was pretty cool. Decent trigger pull. Only issue was that the rear sight had been drifted way to the right. Don't know why (right hand shooter who was left eye dominant?). I had to go the Kentucxky windage route and hold about 16-18" left to get on target at 25 yards.

It's not a star of David on these Jericho's, similar but not the same. The Tanfoglio Mossad pistols do have the star of david. There was a big thread discussion about it when these came out a few years ago. Great guns. Even if the outside is a little worn they all seem to be great function wise and not shot a whole lot
Disadvantage in my mind, Same reason berettas fell behind on modernity as well, most people don't want a handgun you have to break grip to use a control on the gun. I also found the rounder edges of the decocker on the slide actually made gripping and racking more difficult than the standard slide cuts.

What are the differences? I was told the Jericho had the star of David as per the pics.
This is the "Mossad" CZ-75 pistol with star of David. It's also actually a Tanfoglio TZ75, an Italian copy of the CZ-75.
This is the Jericho. The star on the frame references the Israeli Police emblem. This is also built on a Tanfoglio frame.
Thank you for posting those!
It's a surplus purchase. May have, it may not. Answers on here are all over the place. Pictures on the sites mean nothing.

Since there are none left to order it's kind of a moot point...
I started the thread to get some pics and reviews from other buyers.
I'm locking this, I think we've exhausted the surplus Jericho conversation for now. I think to sum it up, they are in good shape but sometimes need a good cleaning like all surplus guns. Markings on them vary from gun to gun...they are surplus. Some have the police symbol and some don't, that's why we didn't advertise them with them. We also don't hand pick or take pictures of surplus guns. If we did, we would be hear all day taking pictures. Everyone gets a fair chance.
