    Just yrs of manufacture mostly and I think 1 and 2 are genuine Brno, then it became state owned, not sure now. Best IMHO is about a 74-78 model 2. There is also an early one than the mod 1 called a TGF, same as mod 1 but refurbished and date stamp removed, a little bit more rare.
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    According an expert on the Brno .22 models (actually a Kiwi) at The early ZKM 452 Model 2 with a few idle thoughts on the ZKM 573 - RimfireCentral.com Forums those were some of the worst years to buy a Brno Model 2.

    "When CZ chose to let the quality of the finish fall dramatically as time marched on then they did it to both models together. If I have offended any CZ fans with that statement I’ll leave you in no doubt about how I feel by saying that I believe CZ dined out for decades on the reputation that BRNO had built. As an example, At age 16-18 two of my friends bought new BRNO/CZ Model Two’s on the recommendation of their elder friends/shooters, that would have been about 1975, they eventually both dumped them as not being as accurate nor as reliable as they had been led to believe. I am not criticizing today’s CZ’s, I believe that they are stunning value for money, a new Annie for quarter price. What I am referring to are the standards of metal finish attained through the seventies and into the eighties. Have a look at three similar photos of Model 5’s and then tell me it isn’t so!"


    Some really interesting reading on that website.
