Hi. The Soviet military PM's, (Pistolet Makarova,) are very well finished. The commercial ones not so much. The real issue is good engineering and materials. In those respects your commercial piece is equal to all the others. In other words, it ought to work as well and the parts will interchange. As to dating it, fine and well if you have the original manual sn. to the gun. The only other way would be to ask all those folks out there in Makarov land if they have a commercial that can be dated in close proximity to your sn. range. I checked but I have nothing in that block. God Bless, Yours, etc., ABTOMAT
