I think that my pistol may have come in in 9mm, it doesn't have the typical import marks like other mentioning a caliber, the import marks are in a different location then others, and the barrel appears to be an original converted to 9mm and stamped with the caliber, it may have been one of the later to come in the country reblued and already in 9mm..
Here are some pics for you too decide...
And you can obviously tell the barrel was rechambered for a shorter round the 9x19...

Wow, I passed on these back in the day (I ended up with 2 Tokarevs instead, for $150 and $75 respectively; and proceeded to grab Makarov-chambered pistols instead of further Tok ones).
Regardless of the big price jump, it's a solid steel gun with good heritage, you should be pleased. I might recommend you start searching NOW for the firing pin, and buy a couple replacements if you can- they are infamous for breaking. Do NOT dry-fire, regardless of the temptation!
Look around for the VZ 50 and/or VZ 70, they are in .32 ACP. Used to be fabulous bargains, at or under $100.

Oh, I hit MAK.com back in the day to pick up the aftermarket firing pins... And picked up one of the slide releases too.
I miss MAK's for $200 per.... Picked up a fair amount of them.
Sadly friends kept on wanting many of them, but I still have a few. One of the .22 conversions too.

That 7.6 round is a beast! You used to be able to buy the old machine gun surplus rounds pretty cheap. They're pricier now, but well worth it!
Congrats on the 82- I love mine. Smaller, but solid as a rock. I also got a 75 pre-B, and it remains my single favorite in my collection (it just feels perfect in my hand). It still amazes me that I was able to pick them both up for a hair under $500 combined 
CZ's are dangerous- they're easy to get hooked on!

That CZ-82 sure does have alot of muzzle flip, makes it interesting to shoot, but not bad still, or such a little pistol it sure does flip alot.Congrats on the 82- I love mine.

9x18 is a hotter round than .380, and way hotter than .32 or anything else like you normally see in a small blowback pistol. They are some snappy little shooters. I own 2 other makes (an East German Makarov and a Hungarian PA 63), and the CZ is heaviest and mildest of the bunch. The PA 63 stings the crap out of my hand. That said, they're all dead-accurate
