SOLD SOVIET RUSSIAN TT 33 TOKAREV PISTOL….EARLY 1938 PRODUCTION……BEEN THROUGH THE MAELSTROM OF WAR!!!

In 80% condition, (only excusable because its a Tokarev) we have a hard to find early 1938 production TT-33 Tokarev Soviet Service pistol.  This is all matching except for the mag and the bore is decent; much nicer than you usually see.  These pistols are quite rare in North America, the primary reason being that most of the ones here were WW2 G.I. bringbacks;  captured off of Germans who had captured them off of the Russians.  A few more came in during Korea/Vietnam but not many.  One thing that collectors tolerate with these pistols is the less than mint condition they are found in. Almost all of these pistols saw hard continuous use during the war and its an extreme rarity to find one with much of the thin blue factory finish left as it very easily wore off with any service use.  This is a very nice and very modestly priced example of one of the most important handguns of the era.
