Polishshooter suggested I post this over here....

Thinking about selling mine to surprise my wife with a gift. What are current values of
wartime Russian (not current Polish or Chinese) Tokarev TT-33 pistols in Fine - EXC
condition? This one is 1945 dated, wide serrations, it has the safety mod above the
grip, with two mags and leather holster. I don't have it in hand at the moment, but I
believe finish is near perfect (little scratch near the takedown clip), and I think the bore
is chrome-lined. Oh, matching numbers barrel/slide/frame (but not mags).

I had a 1941 Tok that I sold on AA for $350, but this pistol had seen some use. On the other hand, it wasn't import marked or had the aftermarket safety. So I would guess your gun should go for around 350 to $400 IMHO.

Originals without the safety mod are in the Blue Book for $325 (100%), $290 (98%), $250 (95%).

Recent imports with the safety are listed for $140 (100%), $110 (98%), $90 (95%).

I'd expect that you should be able to get $150-175 for it, since I've seen them in local shops for $200-225. I've been looking for one without the safety, but no luck yet.

I've found a site listing several Russians for sale, with the safety mod but without the lever and post-war dated, running between $200-225. I was thinking the war date would have a slight premium.

Who knows, maybe I'll try to sell the Tok and the CZ52 as a package and get out of the 7.62 Tok caliber (but I'll still keep my broomie in 7.63 Mauser).

Check the auction sites, you will probably find
one on AA or GB up for auction, that should
give you an idea, the maket prices vary so
often that I sometimes will check the auctions
along with what was mentioned in this thread.

I'd probably pay $300 or so for a nice one without the safety mod, but I abhor mods to collectible guns, so I have been passing on a real nice Russian one for $225 at a local gun shop. Now, if he found one without the safety...
