Recently purchased this one. Receiver is 1941 dated Tula. No import marks and the wood looks unsanded. A few photos:

Verrrry nice . No import markings, a white bolt and super condition too. If I may ask...how much?

I paid $950, which seems to be about $250 above the going rate on a Russian rearsenal job. The bore is very good and the marks in the wood really appealed to me.

Very nice my friend. The going rate is for one in much lower condition than that one. Would be very hard to upgrade for a Finn capture.

Thanks Badger. I actually found this one at the last Chantilly show. What a mob scene that was.

Very sweet!!!! Congratulations!!

Hmmm. I don't think $950 is too high for a non-refurbed example. You did well .

I think that is an excellent deal for the rifle in its non-refurbed, non-import condition. That is what I paid for mine. Unfortunately, I sold it some time ago and am still regretting it to this day .

Super nice SVT! So much cooler than a refurb...

Nice character in that one!
Import marks should cast doubt on any Finn SVT, they were imported long before "Import Marks" were required.

Very nice. Looks a lot like my Finn captured SVT, right down to the original, worn shellac! Congrats.
