I tried searching but i couldn't find anything.
What is the difference between the pre war and the post war pistols?
They look the same, have the same accessories, and cost the same.
 
perhaps post war guns had better quality control, or vise versa. though i doubt it
there no significant differences that i'm aware of between pre and post war.
just comes down to what number you would prefer on your gun I guess.
 
As mentioned, just the slide serrations are different....post war will have better fit and finish then wartime produced, and generally be in better condition having seen less use.

One was made before the war, and the other made after the war ended... ;-)
Sorry... couldn't resist

Slide serrations are the only cosmetic difference that I know of

Some people that collect pre/during war and others collect post war items...
 
Wartime pistols were made by 12 year old boys (I've seen the footage), and have different slide serrations. Post war guns were probably made by adults. Probably.
 
not exacly on topic, but if your thinking of buying, get one of the Polish unissued ones(IMO). I had problems with a couple of Russian older models, but the Polish one goes bam every time. Just put a muzzle brake on it. I love the Tokarev. Can't wait to get it out to the range with my cz52.

aw crap, the last thing i needed was more options. haha
I'd definitely look into the polish ones, thanks.
 
Question: so exactly when did the change to the serrations on the slide occur? Were there late war (say 1945) TT-33's that had the later type?
