The Soviet version of the pistol never had the "AE" markings, much less the fictitious "Meteor" inscription.
The Makarov pistol currently has a long history of over 70 years.
Of course, the rules for applying factory marks have changed more than once.
As an example, I will attach a photo of a sample of this pistol from 1954.
Of course, explaining what each mark means

1) The serial number, which in 1954 was designated by two letters and four numbers
The number was duplicated on the pistol and on the bolt carrier.

2) Manufacturer's stamp (Izhevsk Mechanical Plant.)
The first experimental batch of Makarov pistols was manufactured at the Tula Arms Plant and, after the defects were corrected, was transferred to the Izhevsk Plant for production.

3) Year of manufacture (In the future, the rules for designating the year of manufacture of a product will change and in 1956 the year of manufacture will begin to be marked with letters)
Д 1956г.
И 1957г.
К 1958г.
Л 1959г.
М 1960г.
Р 1964г.
In 1960, the year of production began to be designated with numbers again.
4) Stamp of the State Admissions Commission
