Strange they would say only one left, then all of a sudden more in stock. I apparently missed the earlier sale, and also this one if in fact it is good. At any rate UPS is doing a good job on this one, showing out for delivery today, when they had estimated next Monday

Unfortunate timing but I’m sure you will be enjoying your new pistol long after the $$ is forgotten.
Great that it will be delivered today! Be sure to let us know what you think. I’d be interested in the serial number and date mfg as compared to mine and others order from CSS.

Serial is 20462150 no idea about date. talking about the symbol what does the letters HWG DE mean/
I did have a problem with the grips. A couple of points had some sharp edges that I simply could not deal with. A few minutes with a fine wood rasp then some decreasing sandpaper grits, from 120 to 600, took care of that in about 20 minutes. Largest area was on left side of grip where three fingers wrap around, and the other was the section just under the trigger guard, that would be just over the large finger when gripping the gun. A quick wipe with some Beechwood Casey Original oil and it blended right back into whatever finish was present. I was expecting to have to completel refinish but lucked out there.

The first two digits in the serial number are the year of mfg (20=2020)). The day and month are in the Russian/English manual. Probably end of November 2020 since our serial numbers are 21 apart.
No idea on the HEG DE. Anybody?

Google is your friend. "HEG" is a manufacturing company in Germany (DE).
The "F" pentagon denotes firearms and accessories.

Understand DE is Germany, but why. and why if it is clearly stamped Made in Russia, why the letters indicating a German maufacturer.?

Probably to get around import sanctions. The made in Russia may cover who designed it with the German company making it.

There used to be a guy in Cincinnati that made lefty grips out of some sort of material( not wood). But it didn’t feel bad in the hand, and could easily be sanded to fit better. It’s been over 10 years ago when I got a set for my izh. Can’t remember his name, but found him on pilkington forum.
