1953 Romanian Tokarev TTC 7.62x25mm - Excellent Condition
Price: $575
For sale is a pristine 1953 Romanian Tokarev TTC pistol, manufactured at the Cugir Arms Factory. This collectible semi-automatic handgun is chambered in the powerful 7.62x25mm Tokarev caliber, known for its high velocity and flat trajectory. Perfect for collectors and shooters of Cold War-era firearms!
Key Features:
- Manufacture Year: 1953, stamped on the frame, making it Curio & Relic (C&R) eligible.
- Condition: Exceptional, with 98% original bluing and an excellent bore with strong rifling. Minimal wear, likely arsenal-refinished.
- Serial Number: B1252, fully matching on frame, slide, and barrel, enhancing its collector value.
- Design: Rugged and reliable, based on the Soviet TT-33 with a short-recoil, tilting-barrel system. Features narrower rear slide serrations, characteristic of Romanian TTCs.
- Accessories: Includes one 8-round magazine. No added import safety, preserving its original configuration (ideal for collectors).
- Historical Significance: Used by Romanian military and police from 1952 to the 1990s, a true piece of Cold War history.
- Bluing: 98% intact, with only slight wear on edges, presenting a deep, rich finish.
- Bore: Excellent, with crisp rifling, perfect for shooting surplus or commercial 7.62x25mm ammo.
- Functionality: Smooth action, reliable performance, and a crisp trigger, typical of the TTC’s robust design.
- Safety Warning: Surplus 7.62x25mm ammo may be corrosive; clean thoroughly after firing. Modern commercial ammo recommended.
- C&R Eligible: Can be shipped directly to C&R license holders or through an FFL.
- Inspection Recommended: Buyer should have a gunsmith verify condition before firing, though the pistol appears in top shape.
This 1953 TTC is a standout example of Romanian craftsmanship, with matching numbers and near-mint condition, making it a rare find as surplus stocks dwindle. Ideal for collectors of Eastern Bloc firearms or shooters seeking a reliable, historically significant pistol.
