Well the Italians made them for Israel.
I came across this CZ 75B clone today....It was imported by SARCO back in the 80s.
Info is hard to come by on them but apparently, before Israel was producing its own CZ-clone pistols (before the IMI Jericho), they contracted with the Italian manufacturer Tanfoglio.....They had been making of high quality CZ clones for a few years by then. In fact IMI’s first Jericho pistol was built mostly using parts supplied by Tanfoglio.
Of course the "Mossad" moniker is just a commercial trade name but a few surplus examples have came out of Israel with "shooting club" stamps on them. Who the hell knows.
I have a real CZ-75 (pre-B) and there are far fewer (none really) tooling marks on the Mossad. Of course all my B model CZ mags fit/function just fine.
It's in good shape and came with two mags and a IDF (surplus Belgian) High Power holster. A IDF rifle sling was used as a shoulder strap.
