PA-63 FEG Hungary 9x18 mm
I have two of these pistols and each is marked differently.
Pistol 1 serial number HC 1912 has Hungary stamped on the right hand frame with C.A.I. Georgia VT with FEG 9mm MAK. PA-63 on the grip right behind the trigger. It also has the before mentioned serial number on the inside of the grip on below the trigger.
Pistol 2 serial number L 022000 right side of the frame the same place as pistol 1 but not Hungary. On the right side of the slide it is marked KBI-HBG, PA and right below FEG Hungary.
Grips, sights and magazine are identical. Any important difference I should know about?

The only basic difference is that two different U.S. importer/distributors brought in the pistols. The KBI might be a earlier import? 0 -
Agree with Rufe.
Per the 1968 Gun control law, imports of firearms made outside the USA have to be stamped with the name of the importer on the receiver. . .but there is no absolutely standardized location.
So Century Arms from Virginia may stamp the gun in a different place than KBI from Harrisburg PA.
Same gun, different stamp.
As to any OTHER differences between the two guns, probably not.0 -
