This video showcases two unusual firearms brought back by veterans: a French Lebel M1892 revolver and a Chinese Tokarev TT-33 pistol captured in Vietnam. The presenter discusses the historical context of these firearms as war souvenirs, detailing their origins, markings, and the paperwork involved in bringing them home. The video also touches on the authenticity of collectible firearms and the challenges collectors face.
This video reviews John Remling's "Collector's Guide to Tokarev Pistols," an introductory book for firearm collectors. It covers the Tokarev's development by Fedor Tokarev, its evolution from the TT-30 to the TT-33, and its adoption as a successor to the Nagant 1895 revolver. The book also details differences between models and magazines, compares the Tokarev to the Colt 1911, and discusses foreign variants used by China, Poland, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia. The reviewer notes the book is out of print but highly recommends it if found.
