CZ-82 Subtle differences between years

[steve91104]

I love my CZ model 82's. They're cheap, accurate and fun to shoot.

I have two of them - an '86 and an '87 - and I've noticed subtle differences between them.

For starters, I noticed the pattern on the grips is more rounded on the '86, and on the '87 it goes around the screw.

For example, here's the right grip from each:



Also, the '86 grips have this extra semi-circular protrusion at the top:



which fits into a corresponding indentation in the '86 frame:



Note the '87 frame does not have this indentation:



Lastly, I noticed the lanyard loop on the '86 is part of a block that fits into the frame (at the bottom of the grip) and gets pinned into place:



On the '87, the lanyard loop is part of a cylindrical piece inserted and pinned as follows:



Now I'm wondering how many different configurations there may be, and will I have to collect the whole set?

I'd be very interested to hear from other calgunners who own one of these models. If you have a model 82 from some other year, could you take a look and let me know if yours is different in some other way?

Thanks
