Unissued Bulgarian Makarov For Sale
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?
