Who would you get in trouble from if you took some time to flat side one with a file and abrasive? Blanking and blueing?

None, as long as the original serial # doesn't get touched but these are nice compact powerful handguns so I would be careful where you file, I don't think the Polish ones will have these marks. But they are $60 more.
Edit: I looked at the add again and it does not say refurb on it although I assume they were to some extent, either way I would be very careful where you thin the metal on them. Great guns, ugly now but great!
 
Tokarevs have never been pretty. Very uhh.. dieselpunk

Im so Happy mine came without that crazy engraving. But I bought mine from a local dealer. Is it something Tradex does or will everything (new) come like that now? My Old Man wants one like mine but I don't know what he is going to say about the engraving.
The Price is great tho and as long as its Rushky Im sure he will be happy. Again Im just Curious if its a Tradex thing or a new import thing?

I disagree, my Polish Toks are very nice looking excellent bluing very smooth sleek lines, everything you need, nothing you don't! A lot of punch in a smallish package! The Russian refurbs are nice too, but most have had the edges ground down a bit and the lines are not quite as sharp! Love the cccp on the grips though!

No it's a Russian thing, or, done in Russia, for export rules, could have been done more discretely though IMHO. Tradex did not do this.
By the way, where did you get the copper washed x25?

By the way, is there any difference between these 2:

https://www.tradeexcanada.com/content/wwii-russian-tokarev-tt33-pistol-762x25

On says WW2, the other post war, but pics seems almost the same. Anyone knowledgeable about these guns can enlighten us about the differences, if any?

Post-War TTs have fine line rear slide serrations, while earlier models have different ones as pictured (I like 'em better).

Also if you want a Tula -manufactured pistol for your collection, those stopped in the middle of WWII, so no chance of one in a later batch.

All are refurbished and might have mix-n-match parts and some up-graded components. But some at end of production were put in storage pretty well un-used, so you might get close to as-issued in a later batch.

Not TradeEx's fault, but the ugly markings kill any interest for me on these. Guess I won't reach three dozen Tokarevs yet!

I hope Norht Sylva will contact their supplier and get the markings changed,cpossibly smaller and hidden as much as possible.

Ordered! Glad to get one, but man those markings are brutal. No other way of doing it?

You can get the old imported ones off the EE if those horrendous markings bother you.
I would take a gamble and say the TT33 is probably one of the most common and low priced hand guns in Canada!
The common, working Canadian mans hand gun ;)
I got mine off the EE for around $180 shipped to my door excellent condition and no crazy import marks.

This. You can not get better bang for the buck in pistols. I love my WWII TT-33.
