Hi my name is Jairone.
I found this same gun at a yard sell last week and tried to sell it at an 
auction this week but someone told me to hold on to it because it was an old 
gun...
I don't know to much about the value of this gun so if you would please tell 
me what i have ran across.
Thanks. Jairone

Picked it up at a garage sale. In November. Riiiiight. Maybe it's warm where he's at.

No picture or other description accompanied this little letter.

Some letters set off warning buzzers in my head. . .

An operator's manual, for an inexpensive (not cheap, it's probably the best bargain out there now) military surplus pistol? From somebody who says he's "Chief, Financial Litigation Unit". Paranoia sets in, hard. I let this go unanswered.

Joe, if you happen to read this, there ain't no such manual, that I know of. Get Walton Cude's Ultimate Makarov Guide.

Ah, users:
