I believe it is a Hungarian FEG PP (not PPK) clone made for HEGE, a German reseller who stamped the slides with a variety of logos...including AP-66 and even FN. :shock:

Century and SOG had a few FEG models available a year or so ago, including the AP-66, PA-63, and even used Walther PPK/E models. The FEG pistols ran from about $110 to $200 The price depended on model, caliber, condition, accessories included, etc.

They are not made to the same quality standards as the German Walthers (at least in the finish department) but they're decent carry guns. It is a cheap Communist Bloc pistol but they are functional working pistols and can be counted on to go bang every time the trigger is pulled. You might have to experiment with ammo if it doesn't like one brand.

Vinay bhai will show u a similar pistol , in possession of a family member,courtesy NSP weapons cache at Jabalpur Depot... He gave up a .38 webley thinking he will not be able to get it on his license post retirement from the Army.
I dont dial 911... I dial .357

thank you guys for your valued inputs, one thing which intrigues me though is the slide,the slide should have HEGE WEFFEN WEST GERMANY, where as the slide of this pistol says HEGE WEST GERMANY, this confuses me ,

Rakshit bhai the origin of this pistol too is jabalpur and the owner is an ex army man, i have seen the pistol and fired a few rounds . i forgot to tell you i had a llama 380 for a while but i plan to buy this one as it is in nice shape.just wanted to make sure about the proofs and markings are in place.

thanks

If it was me and my life depended on the firearm, I would pick the .380 over the .32 every time.
