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?

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:
