Hi all. I just acquired this kit with what looks like an early SVT gas tool (if that is what I indeed spotted in the tool kit). However, the parts in the spare parts tin don't look like any SVT parts I've seen unless its mis-matched to the gas tool. So... anyone here know what its from? Its not like other Soviet-issue SVT kits so maybe its a German or Finnish kit? I'll post better pictures after I get the kit in my hands but in the mean time does anyone know?

That's a cleaning kit for the Swedish Ljungman Ag m/42. But as you noted, a Tokarev wrench has been mistakenly included in the kit.

Thanks very much for the information! Fascinating read on how the gun was developed and it does look similar to a SVT-40 so I suppose someone could have gotten the SVT tool confused for it somehow. Too bad its not some strange SVT variant cleaning kit but at least the tool is worth what I paid for the kit as long as its not a reproduction.

Since I don't own the other gun I'll probably just keep the SVT tool and list the rest back on eBay or here in the trader since I don't have a use for it.

The kit just came in the mail. Its not in the best of shape but at least the SVT-tool looks fine. It has some stamps on it that I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me as to their meaning:

The guy selling the kit should have just googled what the metal tag on the back said:

3 crowns stamped on the bottom of each oil can. Kinda neat:

Looks like the kit is just missing an oiler and a multi-tool. No idea where to get them but seeing as I don't have the matching rifle it doesn't really matter:
