The M57 follows the Tokarev pattern with a short-recoil, locked-breech, single-action system and a full-size, extended grip frame characteristic of this model. It is chambered in 7.62x25mm and offers a 9+1 capacity with its model-specific magazines.
The pistol is built on a blued steel frame and slide with an anti-glare rib along the top. The slide carries diagonally cut rear cocking serrations for traction. A spurred hammer and fixed iron sights—front fixed blade and rear fixed square-notch set in a dovetail—round out the classic service configuration.
This surplus import includes a frame-mounted manual safety added during import. A lanyard slot at the heel provides a secure attachment point when needed. The black ribbed grip panels with star medallions are correct for the pattern and complement the pistol’s service heritage.
Markings include the import stamp "GRC–MARTINSBURG, WV 7.62x25 BIH." The frame and slide share matching serial number 133329, while the barrel is numbered 37158. These details reflect typical surplus characteristics and add clear provenance to the pistol’s path to the U.S. market.
Barrel length is 4.6 in, and the package includes two steel single-stack magazines built for the M57 pattern. The original box is included for straightforward storage and transport.
