Gunner – This pistol is a strange bird. All of the “Super 12” guns I’ve seen have had the serial numbers on the right slide under the ejection port and on the front gripstap. Other so called “Tokagypt” pistols including the original Tokagypt, those with “Parabellum” marked slides, and those with “Firebird” marked slides, have the serials in the traditional Hungarian pistol location on the flat behind the trigger on the left frame side (pic attached). Also. Because the Super 12’s look brand new and have no evidence of ever having other serial numbers, I believe that they were produced at the end of the Egyptian contract run for commercial sale using the tooling from the Tokagypts. The Parabellums and Firebirds on the other hand were probably made during the Tokagypt run, but not for sale to the Egyptians. FWIW, the fit and finish on my Super 12 is much better than on my Firebird.
FYI, another observed HF series serial # is HF1373
For those who want more info on these cool pistols, here is a write-up from the SecurityArms.com website:
“FEG MODEL 58 "TOKAGYPT"
Type: recoil operated automatic pistol
Chambering: 9mm Parabellum
Length overall: 7.56in (192mm)
Barrel: 4.53in (115mm) rifled
Weight unladen: 32.1oz (910g)
Magazine: 7-round detachable box
A modification of the Soviet Tokarev TT33 for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge. This had a new safety catch fitted on the left top side of the receiver, a one-piece wrap-around plastic grip and a finger support on the magazine. It was produced to meet a contract placed by the Egyptian Army in 1958, but the army authorities changed their mind and the guns went to the Egyptian police. Apparently the police didn't like it either and, after the first few batches had been delivered, the contract was terminated. This is difficult to understand; the concept was sound, and the pistols were well made. Perhaps the decision was more political than technical. The remaining guns were released to the commercial market, many being sold in West Germany under the name 'Firebird'. About 15,000 Tokagypts are believed to have been made. 7.62x25 replacement barrels and magazines were also manufactured. “
For some reason, several (all that I've seen) Tokagypts, Firebirds and Parabellums have West German stampings. Some German importer must have cut a deal with FEG on these.
