Offered in this lot is a highly desirable Russian Makarov PM pistol manufactured at the famed Izhevsk Arsenal in 1965. Chambered in 9x18 Makarov, this exceptional Cold War-era sidearm remains in original military configuration and is especially attractive to collectors due to the absence of import marks. Unlike many examples encountered on the market today, this pistol retains its authentic military appearance and has not been altered from its original configuration. The pistol remains in outstanding overall condition, featuring an excellent finish with only minimal signs of handling and use. The original red Bakelite grip panels remain in good condition, exhibiting attractive color and character, with only a small chip present on the left side. The bore is in exceptional condition with sharp, reflective rifling, and the pistol remains in excellent mechanical condition with the action functioning smoothly and properly.

This impressive collector package includes two magazines, the original cleaning rod, and the original leather military holster. The pistol retains matching numbers throughout, including its accompanying accessories, creating a highly desirable and increasingly difficult-to-find complete military rig. Matching Soviet military sidearms with their original accessories are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly those that remain free of import markings.

The Makarov PM served as the standard sidearm of the Soviet military and numerous Warsaw Pact nations for decades, earning a legendary reputation for reliability, durability, and simplicity. Produced at Izhevsk, one of the Soviet Unions most renowned arsenals, these pistols were carried throughout the Cold War and remain among the most iconic military handguns of the era. Collectors place a premium on military-configured examples with matching numbers, original accessories, and no import markings, as they represent some of the most authentic and desirable examples available. With its matching components, outstanding bore, original accessories, and excellent overall condition, this 1965 Izhevsk Makarov is an exceptional collector-grade Cold War military pistol.
