Since acquiring a really nice CZ75 in the so-called "pre-B" configuration more than a decade ago, I have been on the hunt for a "short rail" example to add to the collection. Unfortunately very few seem to have made it to Australia due to the high tariffs on goods from Warsaw Pact countries in the 1970s.

Luck was on my side however, and I managed to pick one up a month or so back for drinking money, and it is finally in my hot little hands!

Its a 1978 build, and although showing a bit of wear externally, the bore is VGC+ by my estimation.
Here's the seller's image from the internet advert:

I'll toss up a better photo or two when I get time, but meanwhile I'm on the hunt for a pair of original waffle-pattern grips to replace the Pachmayers, and a set of period-correct CZ sights so I can remove those oversized monstrosities and restore the original lines.

Anyone here got early CZ grips or sights in a bottom drawer looking for a new home?
