Original 1954 Soviet Military Manual — “Instruction on Small Arms Training” for the 1895 Nagant Revolver and 1933 Tokarev Pistol (TT-33)
This is an authentic Soviet-era ordnance manual, issued by the Military Publishing House of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR in Moscow, 1954.
Titled “Наставление по стрелковому делу” (Instruction on Small Arms Training), this volume covers two of the most iconic Soviet sidearms: the 1895 Nagant revolver and the TT-33 Tokarev pistol (Model 1933).
It provides detailed instruction on:
-
Mechanical construction and operation
-
Field stripping, assembly, and maintenance
-
Firing procedures and safety precautions
-
Ammunition data and ballistic characteristics
-
Correct sighting, handling, and marksmanship training
Printed for Soviet officers, armorers, and training personnel, this manual served as an official guide for pistol and revolver proficiency throughout the postwar period.
This example is an original 1954 printing, not a reprint, and remains complete and legible. Light wear, slight toning, or minor edge rubbing are consistent with genuine field or classroom use. A superb collectible for enthusiasts of Soviet small arms, Nagant and Tokarev historians, or Cold War ordnance documentation.
