Adopted in 1948 as the Wz48, this is a Polish mfg copy of the Soviet TT33 Tokarev pistol. The original guns, between 1948-1950 were marked FB for Radom with the serial & date of mfg & the grips were marked FB & WP, after 1950 they were marked w/the Communist code of 11 in an oval and the grips were unmarked straight serrated grips.
