GALLERY ONLY, Not For Sale. INFO Only
Markings on frame are removed, some slight remnants where they were. Received this from Vet who brought this back nearly 40 years ago. Some pitting. Bore Good, Grips chipped with no markings. There is serial number on top of slide, trigger group marked with last 2 digits of serial number.
I went into my personal collection and had one of the Century Arms 90's imports that started with the same 2 letters but 800 higher on the numeric portion, so it is definitely Soviet. The one in my collection with markings intact is an Izhvesk 1951

Fedor Tokarev developed the TT-30 Pistol for the Soviet Military to replace the old Nagant M1895 revolvers the Soviets were using held over from the time of the czar. The TT-33 (Tokarev-Tula) adopted in 1933, an improved design over the TT-30, was widely used by Soviet troops during World War II and was one of the most reliable handguns of all time.
