1962 East German Ernst Thaelmann Model PM Makarov Pistol & Holster Rig
***Beautiful & Scarce!***
Description: While the well known Makarov pistol has been made in former communist bloc countries all over Europe in vast quantities, there have been a few variations made that stood head and shoulders above the others. The East German Model PM (Makarov) is truly one of the classic Cold War Makarovs, both in appearance and the high quality of workmanship and materials. They were only made for a short period from 1958 to 1965 at the Ernst Thaelmann plant in Suhl, East Germany, and examples from the first year or two of production appear to be non-existent here in the States. These East German guns have a commercial quality blue finish with a glossy polished look, and the fit and finish of these Model PM's is extremely fine which is quite the opposite of most Communist-Bloc handguns. This particular East German Model PM is in excellent all-original condition and all the numbered parts match except for the magazine. The original factory finish rates a solid 95% with just a couple small spots of high edge wear from being carried in the holster and a small spot of finish loss on the front of the grip strap. These spots can be seen in the pictures provided. The original checkered black bakelite grips are also in superb condition with no cracks, repairs, or chipping. The bore in this Model PM is minty and bright, with sharp rifling and no pitting, erosion, or imperfections visible of any kind. All of the controls on this Makarov function 100% like-new. The action works smoothly and locks into battery nice and tight with no wiggle. This East German Model PM comes with an original holster and extra magazine which is in good condition. All of the stitching is nice and tight and the fastening hardware is intact. The former German owner wrote his name in ink on the inside flap but it is barely legible. As you can see in the pictures the exterior of the holster has a great look to it and shows some actual carry wear from being an issued item. If you wanted one really good Cold War Makarov in your collection this example would be an excellent choice.
