Finally settled on a nice little East German Makarov I saw today for $300 (I know, a bit high from what I've read) that did include a nice soft plastic Mak holster. After a visit to the Makarov.com site, I've discerned that its evidentally a 1961 model as evidenced by the "AR" serial and "61" on the frame. Its serial is stamped as AR 3693 on both slide and frame... but on closer inspection, I uncovered a previous mark under the last two numbers that read-possibly- "81" under both serial number stamps.
Can anybody out there tell me what I may have here and if it was worth something of what I paid for it? I've tried to get into the Makarov discussion page on that web site's affiliated forum site but my "spam blocker" won't let me access that site so you guys here seem to be my only hope. Thanks.
