Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.
There are many conspiracy theories about the numbering of the pistol, the truth is, one letter export, two letters country, three letters factory shop FB Radom. I described the rifle numbering here:

Hello Marboc,
Thanks again. This is really interesting and important material.
Do you know the source of the information concerning pistol numbering that you mention: one letter export, two letters country and three letters factory shop? They have always puzzled me.
Kind regards,
John

Hello, for many years I have been collecting all the information about the encountered Archers .. I talk to their owners. The first owners are special delicacies. I also have contacts with the largest collectors in Poland. There are former employees of FB Radom, this is the most interesting and little-known information.
Pozdrawiam.
Here is a comparison of Łucznik class 170 - Walther LP 53
