I have to agree as to their collector status. I imagine some of the originals are in the US without the added safety and that damn GIANT billboard import stamp, but I haven't seen one. They would definitely be more collectable. I personally love the two I have, but had to modify the add on safety on both of them for them to work correctly. What a shame to deface these weapons. They are built better than any other Tokarev out there, including the Russian. OK go ahead and jump on me( insert flame here)
