Per Berger, Know Your Czechoslovakian Pistols, the T in a circle means:  "Czechoslovak Military proof mark, T stands for Tormentacni"

"Tok" means 7.62x25mm Tokarev - the caliber: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9725mm_Tokarev (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7.62%C3%9725mm_Tokarev)

"rid" - Military code of Ceska Zbrojovka Factory

"J" - Cavalry Regiment, a short number and letters after that give more details of the unit

Georgia VT - Century Arms International - the importer of this gun
