*◊ TULA 7.62 x 54R MM TOKAREV SVT40 RIFLE. SN 7b1623. Cal. 7.62 x 54R mm. Early WWII Soviet SVT40 as captured and used by the Germans during the war. This exact rifle appears second from top on inside cover of Darrin Weaver’s 2001 Hitlers Garands. Top of the receiver is marked with Tula proof and dated 1940. Has additional scope mount rails machined in rear of receiver. Bore is dark but should clean up. All metal parts that should be serial numbered match the receiver with the exception of the magazine. Hardwood stock shows scattered handling dings and marks. Soviet proofed in a number of places and bears an additional Nazi era Eagle/Su27 proof at wrist indicating German capture and arsenal inspection for reissue. This rifle was not arsenal refinished after the war by the Soviets as nearly all SVT40’s were that are seen on the commercial market. Very scarce, early 1940 production SVT40 with genuine German ordnance acceptance and use. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: 80% bluing with scattered areas of patina and wear on high edges. 4-53226 DW7 (2,000-3,500)
