Matching. Small CAI stamp. Probably paid too much, but I am having a hard time finding any price ranges on it. So how bad did I hose myself/???

Just hated dropping that much on a pistol that I got to hold for a couple minutes before the show. Just need to see which of the children in the safe needs a new home so I can keep it now. -)

That's not a bad buy, hard to find one cheaper. I paid thirty bucks for mine in the 60's, but those days are long gone.

The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. USMC 1959-1963

I'd say you did real well. Grundy is a little confused, I think. There haven't been any Russian TTs available from Century or SOG in a very long time. Romanian, Polish, Yugo. I just picked up a Yugo, and it's awesome. Jim

Paid way too much, but what the heck I got one. Good shooter but drags the firing pin across the primers,the Yugo does. Not to rub salt, but my first Russian Tok, I bought at an implement dealer here in south central Illinois for the grand price of 100 bucks out the door. A 43 with no import marks. It has travelled a few times since that purchase, but has somehow came back, thanks HD. Any non import marked Russians under 500 are a steal.

Actually not - the Yugo mag holds two more rounds than the others. It will fit the other pistols (although protruding below the butt), but the other mags will not fit the Yugo.

I just bought a CZ-52 from him, and last week a S&W Model 10-5 so I may have to let the $200 Romanian Tok slip away!
