Thanks. The original matching ones are definitely interesting and less common. I may end up selling it to help pay for some others in my collection. It's hard to part with it though.

Ridolpho, great insight. Thanks!

Here's the album for the notch. The verdict is still out on authenticity.

SVT 40 Sniper ID Information - Album on Imgur

I've been told that the markings on the scope notch are held in great confidence so as to prevent fakes. I can understand the concern, but I think it's in vain.

Sarge, I have more detailed photos of the scope notch, but I've been asked to not post the photos. I tried to PM the link, but it seems that you don't accept PMs.

I have not been told by anyone that it's not original.

I recently acquired the SVT40 at 1941 Tula SVT 40 Sniper . I think it's an original sniper, but not sure. Also, given the repaired cracks at the wrist, is this rifle ok to shoot? Any and all comments...
