In this particular case, it also has a retrofitted safety (which, by the way, locks itself on every round and makes the gun very safe... ) which adds insult to injury. I have never seen an original Polish Tokarev for sale, but I would expect that it would be close to $1k if you ever find one. Now it's a $250-$300 shooter that has been disfigured for life.
That's not just a "proof mark", that import mark is a sheer shame!!
