I just got my first TT-33, a 1938 Tula. It is all matching except the magazine and has a cool patina.
I was inspired to bring out all my Russian/Soviet handguns:
These are a 1890 Tula copy of a S&W Model 3, 2 refurb nagants - a 1916/42 MO Tula Peter the Great & 1931 Tula, a 1916 Colt Russian Contract M1911, and the TT-33. I have previously posted the Tula-S&W and the Colt in this forum.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
