I have a friend of mine that passed away. His wife gave me this pistol.
It has: "ACC Int'l, INTRAC, 54-1, NORICO, Made in China" printed on the side. The serial number is also printed on the side. It is almost black in color and shows no wear anywhere. It is a 9mm. The grips look like plastic and have a star on them made of the same material.

I have not shot it yet and it looks almost new. There is no paperwork, box, instructions, etc. with the pistol. What is this pistol worth?

Does it look like this?

That's a Norinco 213, worth about $150-$200

yep, that is what I have.

I believe you can convert those to use 7.62x25 Tokarev with a new barrel and mag? If so, sksman.com has them.

If that'll work, hang onto it and do that. Tokarev is fun! Nice LOUD bang.

Terry Bell, if you'll do a search on GunBroker.com, or the other auctions sites, for the terms 'norinco tokarev', and make sure you look for completed auctions, you'll get an idea of the current market value for yours.
