Buster Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Here's another of my deact pistols,its the Russian Tokarev tt33 pistol, this is the post war version dated 1948, as can be seen it has the smaller slide serations and has been arsenal refurbished as can be seen by the small square with a line going through it. (Its pictured with a ww2 issue holster) The TT33 semi-automatic pistol was developed by Fedor Tokarev as a service pistol for the Soviet military to replace the Nagant M1895 revolver that had been in use since Tsarist times, though it ended up being used in conjunction with rather than replacing the M1895. It served until 1952, when it was replaced by the Makarov pistol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Andrew Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 interesting Buster, did all the post war Tokarev's have the smaller slide serations? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 They started making the smaller serations in 1946, not sure why! Might be production costs. The tt33 could also use the 7.62 mauser round as used in the C96 (broomhandle/bolo) pistols, but not vice versa as the Tokarev round was to powerfull for the mauser. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
