Brno Rifle Serial Numbers

Yours has all the appearance of the CZ527 LUX, Bavarian stock etc, the butt plate if it has one should have the CZ logo, but remember all these things were interchangeable. I cannot recall the LUX ever having double set triggers. The LUX had a single set trigger that could be disabled. The early ZKW Hornets and BRNO Fox had double set triggers. It is suggested that - If it says MADE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC then it's a CZ. If it says MADE IN CZECHOSLOVKIA with BRNO on barrel then it's a CZ made BRNO design. If it says MADE IN CZECHSLOVAKIA with only the BRNO logo (no c) it's a BRNO. All rifles after 1990 will by virtue of the countries boundary changes display CZECH REPUBLIC.
Can you take a picture of proof marks and is there any prefix letter to the serial numbers. We can take it the rifle was manufactured in 1990, but this is no guarantee if it actually went for proof at that date. It may have been assembled using BRNO parts, and, I am led to believe that up until 1991 it was a requirement that CZ rifles for the export market were also stamped with the town name of BRNO (throwback to the original company ZBROJEVKA BRNO (Armoury of BRNO).
ZASTAVA also made models using the mini Mauser action, similar to CZ & BRNO. The date is interesting as it is the year before the unrest in the former Yugoslavia began and the ZASTAVA armaments factory was heavily damaged by NATO airstrikes.
If you do ever get to the bottom of when/where it was manufactured and how it came to you keep us posted. Good forum to look at is rimfirecentral.com which has a wealth of information and history on BRNO & CZ models both rimfire & centre fire.
