Hey guys,
Not much of a pistol collector. Bought this from a local friend. All matching Factory No. 74 TT-33 with two matching mags and came with the holster. Pretty tough to find since Factory No. 74 only made TT-33s for about 6 months. Notice that the Izhevsk logo has no circle around it. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks

Scarce pistol! Even more scarce with two factory matched mags.

Just to elaborate, Factory No.74, usually called "Izhevsk" for the city it was located in, was split in July 1942 into two factories. Factory No.74 retained rifle production while the newly created Factory No.622 took over production of pistols, anti-tank rifles, and probably a few other things.

Factory No.74 used the arrow in a triangle logo, while No.622 used the same but with the arrow/triangle placed inside a circle. It's tough to find these Factory No.74 produced pistols.
 
Hard too find a Russian bringback TT33 pistol Matt. Very tough too say the least great pick up buddy with the matching two magazines. On other note a underrated pistol too say the least. Their reliable, simple too use, simple too take apart, a darn good shooting round, and their straight shooters.
 
Great TT33 rig Matt! Hard to find variant and with two matching mags no less :happy0180: pic stickied for ref. Yes, there is a very good Russian book on the TT series and it has been translated I believe.
 
Very nice, that holster might be German made, are there any ink stamps in a rectangle inside, or any other markings?

Neat rig.....here's mine. A more common Tula but still with 2 matching mags. The holster was with it when it came out of an estate and is melted to it. I believe it to be German modified....belt loop looks very similar to Matt’s.
