Deactivated Makarov pistol, complete with its leather holster. The Makarov replaced the Tokarev pistol as the Soviet military side-arm and was produced by a range of other communist states. China manufactured these as the Type 59 and some were exported as 'sterile' guns, with no factory arsenal codes or import marks. These Makarovs are rare collector's items, unlike the Bulgarian Factory 10 versions, and this example, which is in excellent condition and can cock, dry-fire and strip, is one of these imported 'sterile' / 'clandestine' Makarovs. Supplied with its deactivation certificate.
