This is a collector's pistol of the Cold War era between the East vs the West. By the way, the East German makarov is considered the cream of the crop in terms of workmanship, fit and finish . Its a very nice daily carry pistol which is quite light and concealable. Many concealed carry holders carry it bec of its concealability and reliability. The design is timeless and classic. A pistol that you can tell stories to your children and grandchildren and past up to them down the road. As the saying goes, they dont make these like they used to. The value will only go up. These were the preferred weapons of the East German Stazi secret police. The year 1962 was very significant as it was the height of the Berlin Wall Crisis. Also the Cuban Missile Crisis that almost led us into a nuclear war with the USSR. Also, this was made in 1962 and its now a 62 yrs old pistol. These pistols are collector's pieces. Makarovs are still carried in combat by Russian and Ukrainian forces fighting right now in the Donbass Region. That shows they are the AKs of the pistol world.
This is from my personal collection . I bought it from decades ago when i had my Curio and Relic license. I only fired a few rounds into it for function, cleaned and stored in my gun safe eversince. Will sell to interested buyer for $599.00 cash . This is a face to face deal . Buyer must have a valid Texas driver s license. I live near Bush International Airport, Humble, Texas.. We can meet in a nearby parking lot to complete the transaction. If interested, just contact me here . I can send more pictures by text if you have a cellphone number. Thank you
Just a note, this is a military surplus grade pistol .. The finish has some imperfections from long storage throughout its 62 yr lifespan, so dont compare this to a modern production gun thats spanking new.. But in the surplus world, this pistol is excellent condition. Besides, surplus guns such have unique allure and characteristic which makes them appealing. These are not beauty queens but made to work in combat conditions.
A nice piece to carry when out taking a walk that wont weigh you down. And they shoot really nice groups at self defense distance as shown by this video i found on youtube.
