SOLD 1959 RUSSIAN/SOVIET MAKAROV PISTOL, NON IMPORT FULL RIG……..COLD WAR VET BRINGBACK FROM GRENADA

IN 98%  CONDITION, WE HAVE A NON IMPORT MARKED 1959 RUSSIAN/SOVIET MAKAROV PISTOL.  THIS WAS VET BOUGHT BACK FROM THE 1983 US INVASION OF GRENADA WITH TWO ARSENAL MATCHED MAGS AND A SOVIET HOLSTER. IT CAME TO GRENADA BY WAY OF CASTRO’S CUBA.  WHAT MAKES THIS ONE SO VERY INTERESTING IS THAT IT IS NOT DATED BUT HAS A LETTER CODE WHICH IS “L” WHICH HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE THE CODE FOR 1959 PRODUCTION. THIS IS A VERY MYSTERIOUS PISTOL INDEED. YOU WILL RARELY SEE A 1960’S OR 70’S DATED EXAMPLE BUT EARLIER GUNS SUCH AS THIS DO NOT SURFACE VERY OFTEN. THIS PISTOL IS ABOUT AS COLD WAR AS YOU CAN GET RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE RISE OF REAGAN-ISM  . BEFORE THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL THIS MAKAROV LITERALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD. ITS STILL A VERY PRIZED TREASURE INDEED.
