Norinco 213 Serial Numbers List

Apr 19, 2012 The Russian Tokarev was a military service pistol produced in Russia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Poland, North Korea, Egypt and China. The Tokarev typically chambers the powerful 7.62x25mm bottleneck cartridge. The Chinese made a unique variant chambered in 9mm—the Norinco 213— for the civilian market. Sep 25, 2011 Need help with a Norinco 9mm Model ID. If it is a Type 54, the date of manufacture should be in the serial number. The first two numbers should denote how many years it had been since 1954. So, that might mean 1996. Bcm43142a0 driver toshiba. Sounds to me like it might be a Norinco 213. I've got one and love it. Does it look anything like this?

Still requires cleaning up and rearranging.

A friend of mine has this gun he knew nothing about, other than it was made in China and is 9mm Luger. He has had it for a while and got it from some family member years ago. He mentioned it and I told him I help find out what it was. When he brought it over I recognized it as a Tokarev.
But there are almost no markings. I researched it and believe it is a Model 213. It is all matching numbers and has two matching mags.
The import stamp is “VALLEY GUN LA CA” in small letters on the front strap of the grip.
“Made in China” is stamped on the left of the slide.
The serial number is on the left of the slide and the frame. The last 4 digits of the # are on most of the other small parts.
Triangle 66 is on the left frame. I believe this means factory 66.
Front top of the trigger guard is marked with a “D” on the left and a “T” on the right.
The mags are short and the mag well has a spacer.
No other marks are there. No model #, no caliber, no 'Norinco' mark.
Am I correct that this is a 213? If so, why no other markings like the 213’s I have seen on line? Could it be an early import?
I also cannot find any reference to Valley Gus in Los Angelos.
Based on what I have seen, I place the value around $200. Does that sound reasonable? Any help would be apprecated thanks.

This factory-original box depicts a commercial Norinco Model 213 variant of the Chinese Tokarev. The gun, imported by Sportarms, was chambered in 9 mm Luger and was retrofitted with a frame-mounted safety.

Chinese Tokarev pistols are as interesting as they are ubiquitous. The Tokarev pistol was the brainchild of Fedor Tokarev, a famous Russian small arms designer. Tokarev began the process of designing a semi-automatic handgun in the 1920s, and the Soviets adopted one of his early designs in 1930, naming it the TT-30 (Tula Tokarev 30). https://hospitalrenew200.weebly.com/blog/desain-kalender-format-cdr. The TT-30 was simplified and adopted in 1933 as the TT-33 (Tula Tokarev 33). A simple, reliable and easy-to-maintain pistol, it was in service until the early 1950s when it was replaced by the Makarov (also known as the Pistol Makarova or PM). Several Soviet satellite countries—including Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia and Hungary—adopted pistols styled after the Tokarev.

During the 1950s, China began producing many small arms of Soviet design. Examples of similar arms include the Chinese Type 53 rifle, which is a copy of the Russian Model 44 bolt-action, and the Type 56 rifle, which is nearly identical to the Soviet SKS. China did not have the firearm design infrastructure of the Soviet Union, so it was expedient to adopt existing designs that were both proven and simple to manufacture. Likewise, it was natural for China to adopt a version of the TT-33. The production of small arms in China was also facilitated by a mutual aid treaty between the Soviet Union and China signed in 1950. As part of the treaty, the Soviet Union sent technical advisors and machinery to China, which made the process of arms manufacture easier.

All Chinese Tokarev pistols are the same in terms of form and function as their European counterparts. They are locked-breech, recoil-operated semi-automatics capable of holding eight rounds. They are essentially a simplified version of the John Browning locked-breech design. The pistols are very slender and have good balance. Their profile is different from many Browning designs, because of the sharper grip angle, which gives them a unique appearance. In addition, the hammer is slightly shrouded by the slide. While not a revolutionary design, the guns do have some interesting features; the hammer assembly is particularly well-thought-out. Not only does the subassembly make it easy to inspect the component parts, but the cartridge feed guides are incorporated into its housing, which makes feeding more reliable and less reliant on the magazine feed lips. The pistol has a sturdy magazine that can be disassembled without using tools. The stock panels are held to the frame in an ingenious manner, using sliding bars that fit into recesses in the frame. Tokarevs are often seen with chipped stocks and scratched frames due to improper attempts at stock removal. Interestingly, there is no external safety on the military Tokarevs. The only safety on military pistols is the half-cock notch on the hammer. The firing pin is not of the inertia type, so it is not safe to carry it hammer-down with a round in the chamber. The quality of these pistols in terms of fit and finish is generally excellent.

All military Tokarev pistols are chambered for the 7.62x25 mm cartridge, also known as the 7.62 mm Tokarev. It is based on the older 7.63 mm Mauser cartridge developed by Hugo Borchardt in 1893. The two cartridges have very similar dimensions, but they are not identical. Apparently, the Soviets originally intended to adopt pistols in the 7.63 mm Mauser cartridge in 1929 or 1930, but they intentionally dimensioned the cartridge slightly differently to be able to utilize the 7.62 mm machinery and gauges that were already in use at the time. This simplified Russian arms production since it enabled the same barrel tooling to be used for the Model 1891 Mosin-Nagant rifle, the 1895 Nagant revolver and the Tokarev pistol.

The 7.62 mm Tokarev is a bottleneck cartridge, which aids feeding into the chamber. The bullet weight is typically 85 or 86 grs. It is a hard-hitting cartridge that is generally loaded at high velocities, often 1300 f.p.s. or higher. The cartridge is noted for being very flat-shooting.

Chinese Production: Type 51 And Type 54
The earliest Chinese Tokarev is known as the Type 51. The designation comes from the three characters found on the right side of the frame translated to mean “Type 51.” There is usually a symbol stamped after these characters, which is thought to be an arsenal marking. Other pistols have the number “456” after the characters. Most also have a star stamping after the serial number on the frame, which may also be an arsenal marking. Sometimes, a small triangle precedes the serial number on the slide.

The Type 51 is basically a copy of the TT-33, and it differs only in its markings. It is not clear whether they were made in Russia and sent to China or whether they were made on Russian machinery in China. Type 51s are dated either 1951, 1952, 1953 or 1954 on the left side of the frame after the serial number. The slide, slide stop, hammer assembly and magazine are also serial-numbered. Production numbers are not known, but they are seldom encountered in the United States and most observed specimens are well-worn. Some were captured during the Korean War and brought back as war trophies.

The earliest of the Chinese Tokarevs is the Type 51. They are dated 1951,1952,1953 or 1954.

Interestingly, close examination reveals some slight differences within Type 51s. For example, some Type 51 frames have s
