Had some time so I decided to do a field strip on it and see how bad it was inside. Not bad at all. However, I did notice some numbers that I was not sure of. I know that on some guns, different parts will be numbered, but I know nothing about Tokarevs. I am sure that there are some experts here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I found on the sides of the hammer assembly.
On the right side is the number '08'
On the left side was the number '7770'. It almost looks like it was put on with a vibrating engraving tool.
I don't know the Yugo's very well but other Toks have a 2-4 digit number - usually the last part of the S/N - stamped in the left side of the hammer group housing (and sometimes the hammer), under the barrel, and the barrel bushing. Depending on manufacturer the full S/N may be stamped on the outside of the slide somewhere too, and/or assembly number under the firing pin tunnel.
These Yugos are refurbished I believe, and the parts were electro-penciled to match either the gun they are in now or perhaps another one.
I wouldn't worry if they don't "match", it's a robust design and should work just fine.
The one I got from DK is really nice too.
It did have a lot of grease in the firing pin channel so be sure to clean that out thoroughly.
