I got this one a couple months ago. 1940 dated SVT 40. This is the only 1940 Izhevsk (factory original) I have ever seen. Tough one to find. Tula produced more SVT 38s in 1940 then Izhevsk did SVT 40s. Interesting to see is the bolt carrier is numbered on the bottom and the bolt itself is numbered on the side. This is seen on early Tula SVT 38s and was common practice until factories were ordered to number carriers on top and bolts on the bottom. It would appear that Izhevsk was late to changing this feature. Tula only numbered the carriers on top for a short period before going back to the bottom. Hope you enjoy, pretty nice condition for a SVT.
