Great stuff, I imagine that the quality from some of these factories was much better than at others, reminds me of my rather primitive early-70's CZ motorcycle but which was of fairly uniform high quality even by western standards.
I once came across a really fine leather saddle in an early-90's Ebay auction, made in Czechoslovakia, which appeared to exceed western standards and which I regret to this day not bidding on. Wish that I could remember the brand, someone on this forum probably bought it lol.
