The Polish Radom deal was this morning...only took four hours, LOL.
It started last week by a email conversation with my friend wanting a batch of 9mm Luger brass from my big sort, he wanted all with same Headstamp, I had 1650 of "CBC", which I wasn't gonna use. I've found CBC has thicker case walls and is problematic when loading Fat cast bullets. I told him this, but he plans to load Jacketed bullets and said it's fine. I mention the Mankato gunshow this weekend. He asks me about that particular show, as he wants to bring a handfull of guns and walkaround trying to sell them. It's a Crocodile Productions show and I tell him that I'm not sure they allow that anymore, but they use to. I ask what guns he wants to sell? All I heard him say was, "blah, blah, Polish Makarov, blah, blah." I say, "how much for the Makarov?"
That led to today's visit with the Gun, paper manual, two original Polish Mags, three holsters, three boxes of S&B ammo, and one box of Hornady self-defense ammo, and a bunch of spent brass...and a set of unused Lee carbide dies.
I am not knowledgeable of the P-64. The slide moves smoothly and fits like well made machine parts and not loose/wobblily like other foreign military type semi-autos I've owned. It sure is nice feeling in my hand, and overall it looks to have excellent fit and finish. All the numbers match, including the numbers on one Mag.
The price he quoted me was just under the price of one currently on Gunbroker, that only included the gun with one Mag and no extra goodies. We were both happy with the deal.
BTW, the black leather pancake holster is a custom one that was hand fit to this particular gun...I guess they aren't cheap?

I really like the machined checkering on top of the slide (non glare feature).
