Lot 489:
Swiss Made CZ 75B by Action Arms – Rare AT84S in 9MM! Behold the rarity of the Swiss Made CZ 75B by Action Arms, a Model AT84S chambered in 9MM. This exceptional pistol comes with three magazines and is marked Solothurn ITM Switzerland, presenting itself in great condition overall. The AT84S stands as a rare clone of the Czech Republic’s iconic “CZ 75” semi-automatic pistol. Assembled by the Swiss company Solothurn ITM from parts acquired from Tangfolio, Italy, these pistols were imported into the US by Action Arms from 1984 to 1987, making them a sought-after gem for collectors. Crafted with precision in Solothurn, Switzerland, the AT84S boasts a matte blued slide with a polished blued frame. The rear sight is large and fixed, while the front sight is a low-profile, ramped style. With limited production and importation, it is rumored that only 4800 of these pistols were made, and even fewer made it into the States. This specific example, imported by Action Arms in Philadelphia, showcases the solid craftsmanship expected from a Swiss firearm. The serrations on the front- and backstrap, flattened and serrated top slide rib, and checkered wood grips add to the pistol’s unique features. The ergonomic design enhances the overall shooting experience. J.M. Ramos, the author of “The CZ-75 FAMILY The Ultimate Combat Handgun, ” praised the ITM-manufactured AT-84 and AT-88 models, stating that they are the finest copies of the Czech Model 75, matching or even surpassing it in overall quality and finish. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking a rare and exceptional piece of firearm history, the Swiss Made CZ 75B by Action Arms AT84S in 9MM stands out as a testament to Swiss craftsmanship and precision. Embrace the rarity, appreciate the quality, and make this unique pistol a prized addition to your collection.
