i just bought this today at my local gun shot. it's a 1940 Tula Tokarev (TT-33). it doesn't have any import mark or import safety switch. i am assuming it is a refurb, as the blueing is excellent. even the barrel is blued......and the blue-job looks "plum" in color. all parts are numbers-matching except the barrel, which is chrome lined. the grips do not appear to be Russian, as they are missing the "star/cccp" logo. i am thinking they are Polish?
anyway.....i am assuming it is a "bring-back"....or found it's way here through Canada, as it has no import mark.
i paid $600 for it. not sure what the value is, but i took a gamble.
now i just need to get some 7.62x25 ammo
