CZ DUO opinions

[Kris]

Dears,

I can buy this CZ DUO and would like some opinions on it.
The slide number and marking, could it be Austrian?

Regards,
Kris

The DUO looks good....BILL

It is a Protectorate Böhmen und Mähren Nitro Proof from 1941 with the number of proof protocol. Contemporary and OK.

Thanks Bill and Jan.
How do these relate to the 'real' German produced ones? I supose these predate the German ones but these are also used by the Wehrmacht ?

[Jan Balcar]

No evidence of oficial use by Wehrmacht. No WaA / E-HK marked pistols. The Germanized name of the place of production (Opočno > Opotschno) has nothing to do with Wehrmacht. The pistols were sold on open market.
