Since 1941, Badar & Brother have produced sporting arms and some military ordnance as well. Though not a Com Bloc country, Pakistan used the Tokarev until sometime in the recent 15 years. B&B manufactured a very high quality copy of which a thousand or more were imported to United States through TGI in Knoxville, Tennessee from 2008 to 2009 time frame. They have since sold out from distributors and are identical to Russian version. This model likely holds the distinction of being the newest Tokarev manufactured. Those imported were available in original 7.62x25 or 9mm Luger. Finished in a matte-like blue finish, they were neatly boxed and came with a manual and spare magazine. Regarding the required BATF supplemental safety, the B&B Tokarev has a very efficient thumb safety installed on rear left side of frame. Far more efficient and cosmetically appealing than those installed on aforementioned Polish and Romanian import.
