Pricing a Russian Tokarev Auto. Can someone tell how to tell the difference between the TT30 and TT33 models? My serial number is HE10xx. Manufactured in 1940.

Thanks,

Warren

  The most notable difference between the TT-30 & TT-33, was the backstrap of the grip. The TT-33's was integral, i.e. the grip was solid. Whereas the grip of the TT-30 had a removable backstrap.
  
  My reference shows that the TT30 was manufactured until 1936, with perhaps as many as 93,000 produced.
  
  If yours is dated 1940, it's a TT-33.
