With SOO many on the market nowadays I don't think your ruining a priceless antique. Personally I'm two toning mine with a brushed finish, custom zebra wood/Hogue finger grips, and all the usual tricks to make these alittle smoother running. Question for berger; whats the hole below the take down clip? Is that a Norc clone?
Cheers!!
Ruin the value of what? There is very little collector value in the TT-33's. Some may be rare but the mis-matched milsurps coming in are just shooters. I think if they run well they are excellent pistols but they are meant to be shot. I do not see the point of gathering a lot of iron mongery just to be put on some sort of display after paying dearly for it.
I tried Alumihyde coating but it wore off. Paint of all discriptions wore off. So far nail polish is the only thing that hasn't:

That clip has a habit of splitting.
