”Required for import” safety?
Need to have a positive safety, which the Tokarev design does not have.
So they scab in something like this abomination (trigger stop in this case).

-That non-orginal safety pretty much halved the value if not more in today's US market.
-Makes me wonder if anyone here has seen fake paperwork? I have a vague recollection of seeing a thread somewhere discussing this subject. Strikes me as easier to do than modifying a weapon and if successful in fooling the buyer you get a significant return for your meager investment.
Would that be a meeting of members of C&R age or a meeting of those who enjoy C&R firearms?
-That non-orginal safety pretty much halved the value if not more in today's US market. There are plenty of import Tokarevs but not many floating around in their original configuration. If you're lucky enough to be Canadian you can buy this same vintage pistol in original config. for $199!. BTW, that's Canadian dollars which is $142.00 USD. Enough to make you cry.
-I've poked about to try and get a handle on prices with sales spread all over the map. Original bring back paperwork is what seems to add the most value.
RIA sold one in '18 for $1500, Ohio Ord. is listing one in excellent condition on GB with no takers and Pre98 sold one with a tidy pile of paperwork for $1750.
