    Agreed John, At first glance I was thinking Militia but I came up with the same thoughts as you suggest last night when thumbing through my Hiller edition four. Mentioned it further up the thread in fact and glad you are thinking the same although I found "Marco" as well and overlooked Precision.
    I particularly like the tap like latch.

    just guessing

    Does the breech block have the "droopy" ends? it is hard to see in the photo. If so I would guess Milita , I also notice the rear sight is too far forward so I think that has been replaced ? It appears to me to be a bit of a 'mongrel' between a Milita & a Tell?

    I don't think I can see any issues, from the pictures of the ones I mention it seems identical to them.

    Must admit I like that latch too - very elegant.

    Yes, Marco is another, although I believe they were an importer rather than manufacturer - the Modern ARms COmpany.

    Kind regards,

    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.
