Russian Makarov Serial Numbers

Going by the low serial number (the KBI applied one at the rear of the slide.A000***), that is one of the earlier IJ-70s imported into the US. It also has the rounded slide release lever like the original military PM instead of the flat, bent lever like makarov380acp's pistol has. Pro100 545 torrent.

It's early enough that I don't see the english marking of either Ishvesk or IMEZ on the slide. (Both of those names refer to the same plant.just different markings).

The model is an IJ-18 and the serial number is P07956. On the side of the barrel it reads MFG IJEVSK USSR MODEL IJ-18 28″ 12GA23/4″M. On the bottom side of the barrel when removed from the stock I see an INC inside a diamond and on the side of the barrel I see a marking that looks like a slanted upper case “I” inside a trapezoid. The PM (short for Pistolet Makarova), otherwise known as the Makarov, is a Russian semi-automatic pistol. It was first produced in 1949 and was put into service in 1951. 1 History 2 Variants 3 References 4 See Also The PM was intended to replace the TT-33 semi-automatic pistol, but with a 9mm cartridge as opposed to the 7.62x25mm Tokarev cartridge. The PM differentiates from the TT-33 by being. Several prototypes with various finishes and serial numbers V000001 to V000005 were made and V000006 through V000016 received a black finish. 'V' is from Versuchsserie (trial series). One pistol was also made in 9mm Kurz (.380 ACP). In 1995 then production of the mini-series starting with serial #. Model: Makarov IJ70-17A Serial Number: BEH6235 Year of Manufacture: 1990 to Present Caliber:.380 ACP Action Type: Traditional Double Action Semi-Automatic with Decocker and Removable 8-Round Magazine Markings: The left side of the slide is marked “IJ70-17A”, “MADE in RUSSIA / by IMEZ” and “B EH6235”. The left side of the frame is.

I've got one early IJ-70 marked similarly. I've also got a couple of IJ-70A variants in.380 like mak380 has posted. One from 1994 that is Ishvesk marked. The other is IMEZ marked and I think I bought it in 1998. Otherwise, they're identical. The East German Suhl Maks are the best of the best.

Good steel and excellent workmanship. Next in quality are the Bulgarian Maks. Good steel and decent workmanship. The Russian military and commercial (IJ-70) Maks are about equal in workmanship but I'm still positive they used a softer steel or just fudged on heat-treating the internals on the commercials. I've never seen a Norinco (Chinese) Mak so I can't say how they are. Doesn't matter what country they're from, they're great little shooters!

I'm surprised when I hear that folks are still paying $300 or so for the IJ-70 Maks. I was buying them new for $120 in the '90s.

But I guess I'd probably pay $300 for another one too if I found a nice one. The IJ-70s are not as good of quality as the military PMs but are still darned good little pistols considering their pricetag. The steel is softer than the military PMs that I've seen.

I will admit that it did take around 7500 rounds through that 1999 IJ-70 before the sear/hammer was worn so bad that it just had a horrible trigger. A couple of replacement parts and it's still alive as a backup trail pistol. It was common to replace the internals (sear, hammer, disconnector, etc) on the IJ-70s and Bulgarians with East German Mak parts when they were still available.

This might help some: Then compare to pictures here for a general format by country: Remember, Bulgie surplus dates are the first two numbers +60 and the EGs are dated by year 58 to 65. If you run across a way to date IJ-70s (sans manual) and Chinese type 59 ZZs by the serial number, please let me know. Using advanced search on GunBoards can give one a virtual plethora of info to glean from.:thumbsup. :) Serial # prefixes, generally considered lot codes, don't get a lot of discussion because the commies kept production numbers to themselves.

The East Germans kept good records, but the published list for EG Mak prefixes is incomplete, as examples show up not listed. Without representing a number of guns produced in that lot; and the year of manufacture marked on the weapon, the prefixes are just 'there'. Cyrillic is cool to see on some examples, but I don't know what it means on a Makarov, so my brain just falls asleep. Ran across this info from some notes from Makarov.com-IIRC there is also an example of an EG with a 'DD' prefix; not listed, probably others (dated list). Note that this table is not complete and there appears to be a sequential pattern, so don't panic if yours doesn't fit into the ones listed.

China Not terribly much is known about these, except that they were brought in as Norinco Model 59.

Not many are available, so they often command a premium over other Makarovs. On the whole, the quality of these is not as good as some of the others, but there have been notable exceptions.

Very rarely you may run across a Type 59 with an Arsenal mark (number) in a triangle. Most common found are 56 and 66. These were Military pistols that were remarked and packed for Commercial Export. A Chinese Makarov with 'SHI' mark is of Military issue, and normally if found in the USA means it was a War Trophy 'bring Back' from some conflict, and commands a Premium price. Bulgaria The Bulgarian Arsenal Makarovs are the only ones that are currently being imported into the country. Miltex had an exclusivity agreement with Arsenal before they decided to get out of the small arms business. Many other Bulgarian Makarovs are out on the market including some military surplus.

A few short year ago the Makarov pistol was, one of the many enigmas from behind the communist iron curtain. Few people in the western world had ever seen one, or even knew they existed.

A few Makarovs had slowly made their way into the hands of U.S. collectors over the years. Some were brought to this country during the Vietnam war by returning vets. A few more were captured from the Russians during the Afghanistan war and somehow made their way into the United States. These pistols were extremely rare and expensive. The Makarov pistols in this country were only found in the gun collections of the affluent. Even the peculiar 9x18 Makarov ammo was strictly a collectors item and was as uncommon as the pistols themselves. If someone had the occasion to have Makarov ammunition and a Mak pistol, they would have been considered foolish
