Please help, is it just dark stain? Serial number is 21216 do not have a picture.

Hi Randy,
Ebony was never used as stock wood as far I'm aware but some late Mk 3s did have very dark stocks, which looked to have been varnished. I think walnut was used and then stained and varnished.

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.
