"TRUE" Russian Tokarev TT30
Hello everyone,
What is "TRUE" Russian TT30 ? recently I have lots of questions about this. Fred A.Datig in his book "Soviet Russian Tokarev "TT" on page 39 and 40., very clear stated : 1932 & 1933 years of production ( total 7785 guns) is "TRUE" TT30. All other two years 1934 and 1935 , First and Second Transitional Variations. Early 1934 production of TT30 have only one different from "TRUE" TT30 -Type of barrel whose locking lugs (grooves) encompass the entire circumference of the barrel. Late production of 1934 TT30 have second difference -Hammer group change from wide to narrow frame side. And last black plastic grips don't have 4-dots.
Resantly , I have the opportunity to make few pictures of TT30, top 1933, middle is Early production 1934, bottom Late production 1934. all guns have matching numbers.
Will be interesting to see when in 1934 hummer group change, I would like to ask 1934 Tokarev guns owner report about number of the gun and type of hummer. Thank you.
