Ernst Thaelmann East German Makarov chambered in 9x18 Makarov. This pistol is commonly known as one of the most finely made variants of the Makarov pistol, made with the finest of German quality. The action is buttery smooth compared to the normally gritty slide action of a standard Makarov. The 3.5 inch barrel is in excellent condition with sharp reflective rifling. The black bakelite grips show very little signs of handling, but a very light holster wear at front of slide. The bluing is also in great shape with only minimal signs of use and wear. The pistol also comes with an original holster and spare magazine. An absolute must have for fans of German or Com Block pistols.
