Well I managed to unlock the slide by pulling down the trigger guard as you would if removing the slide then pulled back and up and off she came!
Now just the safety catch to go back...help please

Some of my favourite guns in. You collection, Umarex Beretta 92fs - Colt Custom 1911 - Walther Lever Action - TM Hi-Capa Custom Build Project - Colt SAA .45 & many more..
I have a Baikal Makarov, all steel bought in around 94. Very well made and never been fired. From what I have seen it is much better than later models and must be Generation 1. Clearly is the converted 9mm.

I have not said that is great! just well made. It must be worth quite a lot and will go up in value. I do not want to sell it. I have not used airguns since 2004. The only rifle I have now is a Daystate stainless steel Midas, bought in 1988, and like new. Not selling that either

Depends on your definition of converted, it's certainly my belief that the major components of the real steel PMM double stack models were converted for use in the generation 1 CO2 version.... I.e. the slide, the frame, trigger guard & grips - obviously the barrel, valve/magazine assembly and triggers are new parts.
My gen 1 slide for example still has the extractor claw slot machined in - and it's evident from the milling inside it was a real steel one at one point.
Is this converted, reworked or adapted?
Later generations I believe then began to use some specifically made parts, but as above I believe the early models were indeed converted.
PS Just noticed on Rusmilitary's website that they write of the gen 4 model they sell : "90% of Baikal's parts are genuine Makarov (PMM) pistol parts" - not sure how accurate that is, but that's what they're claiming.

I am hanging onto my T99 boxed Makerov also
I'm on the lookout for one of these, I almost got one when they first came out in the 90's, but I couldn't justify it at the time, buying online (where I live there are not really any local gun shops, I have to beg a lift from my neighbour for a 40 mile round trip to a decent gun shop) how do I know that I am getting a decent one (earlier = decent), I've looked and they can range in price quite significantly, any pointers greatly received.
