Wish I had bought a butt load of East German makarovs back around 1990 when my dad had a kitchen table FFL and was ordering himself stuff like that. IIRC he bought several for approx $110.00. The East German makarovs looked as good as any commercial blued pistol produced by S&W back then.
I won’t lie, I really love makarovs, very well made, very reliable, and cheap too, spare mags for $5.00, ammo was cheap. great prices, ( back when they were sold surplus ).
