I have some questions about the markings on a pair of CZ 52s.
The first one has these markings:
right side, as they appear in the photograph from left to right; VOP 91 CZECH 7.62 TOK crossed swords 54 CAI ST ALB VT,
on the left side there is the serial number and the marking "rid".

right side, as they appear in the photograph from left to right; VOZ 82 91 CAI ST ALB VT CZECH 7.62 TOK,
on the left side there is only the serial number.
Attached File From my research, it is my understanding the "rid" mark means military manufacture
and the crossed swords means military acceptance. Commercial versions were
marked "Ceska Zbrojovka Strakonice or CZS".
So the first CZ is military lineage.
The second CZ isn't as clear to me.
If it is not military manufacture nor military accepted;
1) it does not have the marks commonly associated with commercial manufacture,
2) why does it have the arsenal rebuild stamps of "VOZ 82 91"?
