This is my bro's TT-33, kinda different. It looks to be a commercially de-militarized version, but I have no idea where it's from!
Has both 9mm barell and magazine plus the 7.62 barrel and magazines.
He polished the slide, was kinda greyish before polishing.

Writing on the left side reads:
PARABELLUM
Cal. 9mm and 7,62mm TT

Right side reads: HF (serial #) SUPER 12

Any info would be greatly appreciated...sorry about the pic quality!



 
EDIT:
I did my posting before googleing!
I guess it's a TT-58 Tokagypt.
Made commercially in Hungary for an Egyptian contract, then imported to north America in the early 90's where it was stamped with the hammer and sickle and SUPER 12.

Anyone else have one of these? What's it worth?
 
Often referred to as a Hungarian Super 12...... Definitely not a Tokagypt. Tokagypt is marked as TOKAGYPT 58 9mmPara along with date of manufacture on the left side of the slide, also made in Hungary
 
Would be worth more without the polish job....the safety is not very safe on these either, maybe $250-$300.
 
Hungarian Super 12, commercial model came as new with the two barrels. I think after they made the Egyptian contract pistols in 9mm, saw a potential market and basically copied the T-58 with the grip and safety. The model is interesting for being so early with a calibre exchange capability.

It's been hosed with the polish job, and personally as a TT collector I would only pay like $150 which is either the price of a shooter or the value of some parts and the extra barrel. If you like it, use it. I'd put it near the top of the Tokarev market if original condition (but we're still talking very cheap guns: like $350).
