Hi, I have been a huge Makarov fan for quite some time. I bought one today in Wexford, I can not figure out how old it is. Here is some details
Makarov Handgun
Made in Russia by IMEZ = (made in Russia by a company Abbreviated IMEZ, Imported to the US by K.B.I. in Harrisburg, PA)
IJ70-18A = (its a commercial Makarov, chambered in 9x18 makarov, standard capacity)
Serial Numbr = A CP 0653
Import Serial number = H609427
3 import marks = A horseshoe looking mark with a P in it, A circle with an arrow pointing up, and a Circle with a mark that looks like a 'n'
I can not for the life of me figure out how old it is.
I know this is not a genuine Russian Makarov, that is beyond the point. someone please help me figure out how old this is.

Its well established that the 'BD' prefix is where the SLR-106 series feedramp fix came into play. However, I have an 'IK' prefix and don't know if that was before or after the 'BD'.
German prefixes correlate to a date. Example given: AJ = 09 (as in 2009). In the 1990's I owned a German HK91 with an 'IB' date code which meant 81 (as in 1981). Arsenal codes can't fit into this format, because the 'BD' would equal 13 or 2013 and 'IK' would equal 80 or ???.
Anyone decipher the codes?
