Ernst Thaelman was a communist leader during the times of the Wiemar Republic (Germany) and was arrested in 1933 and 11 years later shot by the Nazis under direct order of Adolf Hitler. When the Communists took over and split Germany, the DDR named a weapons/manufacturing plant in his honour (like most socialist states named important industry after socialist heroes). This is the t mark of that arsenal... Ernst Thaelman VEB ("Volkseigener Betrieb or people owned factory).You'd see these more on AK-47s( MPi-KM) and AK-74s and AKS-74s (MPiAK74N, MPiAK74N)  Not to be confused with the Suhl emblem, but sometimes you'd see both on the same gun...you'd see these more on Makarovs  and the shining 'C' mark, and the 'y' surrounded by dots (sorry, no pics of this one.)....

Wow...I have a carbon copy of that pistol! Right down to the grips.
I also have a 1986 Bulgarian military Makarov that was brand new when I bought it. Have you shot it yet? You'll be amazed at how accurate the Makarov really is. Both of mine are very accurate and 100% reliable. The shoot as god or better than any Walther PP or PPK I have ever shot. For some reason, the Makarovs are much better finished than most Iron Curtain firearms. With their high polish and nice fit and finish, they go against the "rudimentary but effective" feel of most Cold War small arms. The Makarov is still a frontline Russian army and police issued pistol....even today. That says something about the design and its quality. I have seen very recent photos of Russian policemen and women in training and they were shooting Makarov pistols. I really like mine and have actually carried my Bulgarian Mak concealed in the summer, because it is small and very effective. Be sure and get one of the original East German holsters and some spare mags - they're not overly pricey. Don't be surprised if you don't end up with another...they're very addictive pistols. - Brickboy240
