Hi guys,
Picked this up on a trip to central Fl. last week.It's an all matching Izhevsk 1942 date TT33.It's in great condition with more blue than the last half dozen TT bringbacks I've seen combined.The bore is just as nice.Really like the wood grips.I've been looking for one for a long time but have never encountered one that was worth the price the dealer was asking.Here are some pics.

Best regards,
Len

Very nice TT 33, with matching mag. Never seen one with wooden grips before. Your correct about so few of them retaining significant blue finish. Good luck.

I just picked up a TT 33 with the black bakelite grips with the 5 point star. Dated 1939. Most of the blue has faded, replaced by a nice coat of patina.

I think that TT 30&33 are interesting Soviet pistols, often with a lot of history.
