    PFC Albert Landurant brought home this all matching (including mag) Russian TT-33 Tokarev. He was a member of the 450th Engineer Company. He enlisted in 1939 and was discharged in 1945. He passed in 1989 at age 69. I noticed a 2nd Army patch on the right shoulder of his Class A jacket. The Russian bring backs are tough to find and this fills a hole in my bring back collection. I know the finish is gone but that doesn't bother me at all. Its probably rare to find an all matching Tokarev from WWII. You can see that the gun was stored in the Modified French 1892 Lebel Revovler Holster for sometime as the slide serrations are grooved into the leather.
