Built at Cugir in Romania and dated 1952, this TTC reflects the Tokarev lineage with its robust steel frame and slide, SAO trigger, and spur hammer. The modular hammer/sear unit follows the Tokarev design pattern, and a lanyard loop is present at the butt.
The pistol is currently fitted with a 4.6 in 9x19mm barrel and has an 8+1 capacity. The slide bears its original 'Cugir, Romania / Model TT-C / Cal. 7.62×25 mm' legend, while the conversion barrel is clearly roll-marked '9x19 / 9mm' for easy identification.
Controls and handling features include a frame-mounted manual safety (added during import), rear vertical slide serrations, and ribbed black plastic grips with star medallions. Sighting is via a fixed blade front and notch rear setup.
Markings include a PW Arms Redmond WA import mark and a triangle arsenal/proof on the frame. The blued finish covers the steel frame and receiver, consistent with period service pistols from Cugir.
