Picked up a decent 1943 Izhevsk TT33 last week.

Yeah, I know, Tokarev's are common as dirt these days, but a call around will tell you most (maybe all?) the ones left at dealers are either 1945 dated (probably post-war) or 1950's dated - definitely post war.

I was happy to locate this nice little matching 1943 example.

Some commercial S&B is inbound, should tide me over until Marstar brings in crates of surplus end of the month.

Very nice!

I love my TT 33. It is a post war model (1952) and it gets taken to the range just about every week. I am currently using the S&B ammo and saving all the brass to reload them once I get about 1000 pieces.My favourite pistol so far.

I much prefer the Wolf/Prvi Partisan, but if the S&B cases don't split wide open in your pistols then no worries!

Some recent samples of S&B cases. No splits using the Serbian ammo.
