That's funny: I bought the very last Finn capture SVT that Globe had. Cost $39.95 in 1976, plus $8 postage.
It was (and is) in completely original Soviet condition except that the serials are mixed and there is an SA marking on it. The rifle I received looked exactly like the ones in their ads, which is to say, exactly like the other million-odd SVTs.
Now, the rifles that they DID work on mostly were converted to .303, marked as GLOBCO 555 and are generally feared and loathed for their habit of self-destruction from battering due to extremely high port pressure: no gas adjustment tools available back then. These were rather a pretty half-stocked sporting-type rifle, barrels a bit shorter than the standard SVT barrel, pistons shortened and the steel handguard moved backward on the barrel and also shortened.
So: which one do you have?
Or do you have one that they didn't advertise but sold anyway?
BTW, the rifle is an SVT (Samozaradnaya Vintovka Tokarev: Tokarev Self-loading Rifle). Dragunov, the "D" in SVD, was still a kid of high-school age when it came out first in 1938.
