Well Gents,
There never was any doubt right from the start.
You should be looking for a Full Refund for your Fake SVT-40's after reading this and post #7:
The marking is not original and is indeed a added feature that is not proper Im afraid. Real German capture proofs are in the SVT section located at mn.net- showing the proper eagels.

For the 2 or 3 people that still believe it's real, good luck with your future purchases!
I see only one picture of said correct marking in the photo section of mn.net. Are there more? Curiously the correct stamp also does not have numbers. What do they mean by overstamp? Finally, why is this taken as a correct example as opposed to a Finn capture humped with a fake eagle? If century added pu scopes to Finn 91/30 why not a few stamps?





























but does anyone remember the Nazi marked M44's (this was many years ago) that had come into Canada? Oops, sorry. I finally got to read back through this and see that it has come up.
