I have been searching for a 1943 SVT 40 for a long time and a deal came up and I had to get it.
I know it's a 1943 and by the Star it's a Tula but thats all I know.

Great stuff. I acquired a '41 a little while back.
I've got a 40, 41, 42 & 43 SVT 40. Looking for a 44 & 45.
Only one is a shooter, the rest are wall decorations in the gun room.
While not my favorite rifle, I do like the SVT.
Here are 3 of them, don't have a photo of all 4.

I do not see any electro-pencil etching on the parts, the bolt Number matches the Rifle
the Stock is a AVT-40 (Full Auto) Stock so I am sure there was some refurb proccess

Someone likely turned the bolt white on your example. If I remember correctly it is simply a matter of putting the bolt in some vinegar (would have to look it up to remember how people do it).
the seller did say that the bold had surface rust when he got it from his grandfather after he passed away, I I assume he cleaned/buffed it
