I beleive this to be a bulgarian tok, if you look close there are minor differences.

 

[Templar]

I don't know man, I would say Polish.

 

[caliri47]

tok

I have a polish deffenetly not .This is the only tok iv'e seen marked this way.Check the magazine

 

[Templar]

You're right, not Polish, I don't see a Radom marking either.

I never knew the Bulgarians built Tokarev's.

 

[caliri47]

yok

not polish they are circle 11 marked, this is a mistery gun.I'm mainly going by the 21 code,as iv'e seen bulgarian mags marked that way.

 

[Templar]

I can't see the markings on the mag clearly enough to call it, but if it's a 21 or a 25, then yeah, it's probably at least a Bulgarian magazine.

 

[caliri47]

yok

I meant to say ak mags marked 21 this mag has a seam & is folded

:razz: Nice is an understatement, i love it! :hail: The picture is a little dark, but i do believe it is Bulgarian! The Bulgarian ones had several unusual changes, mainly very sharp corners and lines through out, a peculiar swept back front sight, and a wrap-around and spot welded mag. that is atypical for Warsaw Pact production of the Tokarev.
Any letters on grip around the star? :dance:

 

[caliri47]

tok

No letters on the grip. your'e right about the front site also the alignment mark is on the opposite side of all the tok's, either front or back of rear site

Nice score! I learn something new every day here. With those scalloped slide serrations, I'd have guessed it was Polish too. :smile:

This thread made me recall a tidbit about COMBLOC pistols I just heard from an NVA vet. He said the NVA used many Bulgarian Makarovs. This guy has a steel trap memory and worked at the depot so I find him totally credible. Kind of interesting.

Bulgaria starts to build Makarov pistols late 70s or early 80s, there is no way there were some used in Vietnam. Maybe Russian Maks?

I don't beleive there were any bulgarian mak's in veitnam but russian for sure .My freind has one with capture papers.I fact a freind had a russian sks at the show this weekend that had papers from the CIA capture in 1966, and the gun was in nice condition.

Ooops, sorry, by NVA I meant National Volks Armee; i.e. East German. :shock:

 

[cmutka]

I like your's Joe, mine is a training pistol. Bulgarian or Romanian made, it was Romanian used.

Here is a picture of slide markings too for reference.

Bob & i went over that gun compared to his romanian & there are a few differences.Bob knows quite a bit about tok's.Like i said the number & marking's are different than most tok's.Iv'e seen romanian's with RSR marked grips.

Chumka was just saying he wasn't sure what he had,but looking at the marking's it's deffenetly romanian.It say's training or something to that effect in romanian.I can't seem to get a 100% answer on my gun, like i said i'm going with bulgarian, i guess no one's ever seen a tok like this before, to give an id.

Re: pistol

I didn't even know that Bulgaria made TTs, and I am Bulgarian.
ALL of the TTs I've seen in Bulgaria, and I have seen hundreds, were ALL Russian.
