SOLD RUSSIAN TT 33 TOKAREV PISTOL VERY EARLY 1936 RARE!

IN 85% ORIGINAL CONDITION WHICH IS TYPICAL FOR THESE HARD USED RUSSIAN WW2 TOKAREVS, WE HAVE A VERY EARLY 2ND YEAR PRODUCTION 1936 DATED TULA MADE TT-33 PISTOL. THE BORE IS DECENT AND THE PISTOL IS ALL MATCHING EXCEPT FOR THE MAGAZINE. THIS IS ONE OF THE VERY FEW PISTOLS THAT WAS PRODUCED IN 1936 AS PRODUCTION WAS NOT LARGE BEFORE THE START OF WW2. THIS PISTOL WAS CAPTURED BY THE NAZIS, WHO “DE-COMMIEFIED” IT BY REMOVING THE CCCP AND STARS OFF OF THE GRIPS. THIS IS ACTUALLY FAIRLY COMMON ON NAZI CAPTURED GUNS AND WE SEE IT OFTEN. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A WW2 RUSSIAN TOKAREV THAT WAS CAPTURED BY THE GERMANS AND THEN BROUGHT BACK AS A WAR TROPHY BY A GI. EARLY DATED TOKAREVS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE. FEW WERE MADE AND EVEN FEWER SURVIVED THE WAR. THE FINISH LOSS ON THE SLIDE IS DUE TO A POOR BLUE JOB AT THE FACTORY NOT TO WEAR, ITS TURNED TO A PLUMY ORANGE COLOR WHAT IS LEFT OF IT.
