Manufactured in 1966, as dated on the left side of the frame, along with an importer mark on the right side. Features fixed blade front and notch rear sights on a matted rib, matching serial numbers on the left side of the frame, slide, and safety lever, along with the Izhevsk Arsenal "circled triangle" mark on the left of the frame with two circled letter proofs. The transliterated serial number is "IN 0739". Fitted with a checkered brown bakelite grip with a lanyard loop on the left side and a blued magazine with matching serial number "0739/1" marked on the back side. Includes a "1985" dated brown leather flap holster with a steel cleaning rod, and an extra blued magazine with matching serial number "0739/2" marked on the back side.

Excellent, retaining 98% plus original blue finish with some minor cycling wear on the barrel, plum coloration to the hammer and safety lever, along with some minor handling marks. The grips is exceptionally fine with some minor handling marks in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is exceptionally fine. Overall a very attractive example of a Vietnam War era Soviet Makarov pistol with two matching numbered magazines!
