Soviet 1941 Nagant & Tokarev pistols
Hi, here are pics of my WW2 Soviet handguns for viewing. Both are 1941 dated, and veteran bring backs. I do not have the US military "capture" papers for either unfortunately.
Very hard to find original, untouched, non-arsenal rebuilt Soviet WW2 pistols these days. Believe it or not, the Tokarev is in very good condition. Most all the original Tokarevs you see come up for sale have much less bluing than this pistol. From the original Tokarevs I have handled, they all have a very thin blue job to begin with from the factory. There are exceptions though, but are rare to find.
Also a pic sent to me of a relic Nagant recently found from a digger/seller in Russia. It was found somewhere near Moscow area, probably from the Defense of Moscow fighting?
I wish I could purchase this Nagant pistol, or one like it, but cannot bring it into the country. Maybe if it was torch cut into 3 pieces. :shok_yikes:
Regards, Steve
