All matching, non refurb 1940 with 3 mags, two out of 3 are match to the pistol. Pistol and 2 mags are 866, one number off from 666. Pistol is literally brand new, not ever holster ware. Price? Dont want to sell it, figured I'd just ask how much would one of those will go for.
 
I don’t know enough about the guns to know what years are more sought after than others but I paid $300 each for two matching wartime examples. Came with wartime holster, matching mags and cleaning kits.

I felt I paid a premium for the glossy blue and matching numbers but they’re for squirrelling away not for shooting.
 
A 1940 TT-33 with two matching mags that's non-refurb is a bring back. I've bought and sold bring backs in the $700-$1200 range depending on year, condition, number of matching magazines. As far as I knew I (used to) own the only ones in Canada. Glad to hear of another.

Limited number of buyers and sellers. Most people have no idea what a non-refurb TT is based on the replies thus far.
 
Only comparison I have is a 1940 matching refurb which I paid $225 For.. .. non return add an incalculable amount higher than that depending on buyer demand. Not sure how much there is, functionally a return is just fine and is a fully functional pistol.
 
bp2626, you think a vet brought it home as a souvenir? I was thinking maybe Ukrainian import from back in the day since I was told that one of stamps might be for post war arsenal repair. Than again, thing is literally brand new. Probably 95% of bluing is still present. Yea, I definitely know non refurb TT is worth waaaaay more than $250 :) Just not sure how much exactly. I looked at some US sales where people ask stupid amounts of money but it's US, prices probably different there. I've been looking for a non refurb for a while, most of Tokorevs we have here are ruined by those TT-C markings. This was a lucky catch. Seller just decided to unload a bunch of firearms. This pistol was one of them. I didn't think twice. Btw, I made a mistake. Only one of three mags is matching.

Those are the only stamps on the pistol. No modern markings such as ГИС, made in Russia, TT-C etc. 866 and 62 stamps on the barrel.

Pistol is likely refurbished. Can't tell for sure but both appears reblued and a refurb marking. Would need better quality photos of serials, markings and the grips (changed each year SLIGHTLY).
 
So I'm talking to couple of guys who know more about markings on soviet milsurp. I'm only familiar with new Russian stamps. Anyways, I was told that one stamp could be QC and one could be arsenal repair. I was also told that frame has refurb stamps. Any ideas? As was suggested I did check font on matching mag, it looks pretty similar to font of pistol's frame but a bit thinner. I don't have a good camera, so taking high resolution pics is probably out of question.

bp2626, thank you for the input! What do you think, war time or post war refurb? Any info would be helpful. I will try to get better pics.

As I eluded to the bring backs are exceptionally rare. I owned 3 and only knew of one other and that gentleman how has all 4.

A refurb is probably worth $200-$300 the year and condition doesn't make much difference they are plentiful in Canada.

Thank you! Btw, I remember seeing a compilation of soviet arsenal stamps online. Can't find that web site anymore. You don't happen to know the link for something like that?
