This auction sort of blew up on social media. Long story short...certain real experts chimed in that prototypes use a unique serial scheme and CZ-USA reportedly replied that this SN was originally shipped as a black polycoat.
Not surprised really. Between this forum and Facebook, the Cz community is active and passionate. In the last few days, one of the FB groups was even visited by Milan Trkulja(very graciously I would add). In this environment, making bogus claims will likely result in being called out.

He should be banned from selling there..

Actually, he did relist it for $3500.  Claims to have a letter verifying it, which he says is included in the pics provided (no such pic at the time of this post).

I just looked and there is a letter now. CZ USA letter head, but no date and odd spacing, blurred type. Looks sketchy to me.

This is great to hear!!!

I agree! It is too bad he then re-listed it with this supposed letter. With we could leave comments on listing or point Gunbroker to the FB post where CZ-USA chimmed in that it was not a prototype. What a fraud.

Also unsigned. Contents state that only the satin polycoat and grips were non-standard. Seem to recall that 2-3 years ago, a small batch of RAMIs with a similar satin polycoat were sold through an Illinois store...those must be worth a fortune now! The drama continues.

Lol, the letter actually states that it was part of a small production run. Not a prototype, a "standard low capacity SP-01". Difficult to read, blurred type. How he can call that a prototype I don't know.

This is easy to prove just list the serial number on here so someone can call it in and check on it.

This is satin nickel finish - not polycoat. Learn your facts. Vice President Sherri Goodwin, 17 years and the #2 person at CZ-USA has provided the letter and will stand behind it unconditionally.

   Read your letter again. It flat states satin nickel "polycoat".
