I'm pretty sure finding one that hasn't been 'restored' is pretty rare! The Russians put all their rifles through the same process after they became obsolete and went for long term storage. Even the ones I see at museums in Ukraine have the same lacquer coating.
I spotted some firearms for sale at the local shopping mall in Kharkov, Ukraine just yesterday. They have the same lacquer as well.
The SVT is more than th AK?
If only we could have them
This rifle is refurbished so originally she had EPed forced matched magazine. And she has force matched stock which is normal for 99.9% of refurbished rifles. I wish you had better pics of the mag, as from what I see I suspect its serial was added by somebody here. "H" instead of "И", two strokes instead of "Г", very fresh marking comparing to the mag finish, poorly aligned characters and absent number of mag (1, 2 or 3). They stopped making numbers for mags I think in 1943.
On one of the mag pictures in your first post you see mag metal bent under the punches, this is never the case with original stamping. I'm sorry but there are just too many things that tell mag serial was bubbaed. Rifle is Soviet refurb, judging by bolt carrier colour and wood repair. Doesn't look like Bulgarian. So mag has to be EPed. I can't comment on unnumbered mags - I think there were some spare kits, but I don't recall seeing one. There were some reproduction (unmarked), but this looks original. Again, I wish pictures were better or I could look at the rifle.
