In 95% very sharp condition which for a Tokarev is outstanding, We have a late war 1944 dated Izveshk Factory 622 made Soviet TT-33 Tokarev Service Pistol. This has a mint bore and is all matching except for the magazine which is surprisingly from the same production block which to me says that it has been this way forever. This has the desirable wartime checkered wood grips and is a very typical example of a height of war produced pistol.
According to Cameron White, the author of the most recent book on these pistols, 1944 dated examples are particularly scarce in North America. If you collect these pistols then you know that finding a 1944 dated one in this fine condition is something of a score. Any TT-33 in this condition is a real find.
