Switched Mosin M1891/30 PU sniper booklets/certificates SN 3364 & 3356 (Victoria BC)

In March 2013 I purchased a 1943 (Izhevsk) Mosin M1891/30 PU sniper rifle serial number 3356. It came with a Russian white cardboard box, tools, oil bottle and a small modern printed white sniper manual in Russian. At the end of the manual is a certifcation of authenticity (I presume) entry for the rifle.

Unfortunately the gun shop had sent my box for Serial number 3356 out with another rifle (probably 3364), and I got the box for SN 3364.

Chances are I have yours and you have mine, so I would like to arrange a swap of the manual/certiificate and ideally of the rifle box (which has the serial number on one end.) Having worked in museums all of myu life I like to have the documentation accurate and complete.

Have you thought to contact the store you bought the rifle from and explain the situation? They would have the other sellers info and they might be willing to contact them and coordinate the swap.

Yes I did contact the store. No luck there. Thank you for the suggestion.
