It's not a Russian capture. I've seen the two marks on the receiver between the "ce" and the "43" before. But I can't remember who is responsible for them.

German Mauser help.

The serial number marking on the STOCK is not original German I believe. Need better pictures

I also think the triangle 8 marking on the receiver is post-war

Thank you for the info, I’m not familiar with all these different markings

Can you take a clearer picture of the top receiver markings?

I'm pretty sure if you post a clearer picture, i can find who was responsible for the markings.

Bumping this thread without supplying a better pic isn't going to gain you more information.

It has the Nazi eagle and is dated 43. I can't read the receiver proof mark, but if it CE as stated above, Sauer. It looks like it might have mixed parts and some are refinished.

Isn't a number on the buttstock - aligned butt down - a Yugo numbering method? A number printed length wise on the left side of the buttstock - being a Soviet numbering method - ? That "R (dot)0794(dot)" number on the left side of the receiver is a mystery to me. Certainly not put on there by the Germans in WWII.

SVT-40 has forgotten more than I will ever know, so I will wait for him to state what it is. My initial thought that it was a Middle Eastern used rifle - Iraqi - seems wrong. I have failed completely to find a similar Iraqi marking - as compared to the two items between the CE and the 43 on the receiver.

Lately, I've forgotten alot.

But I do know that the marks aren't Iraqi.

How about a different approach- how much is the store asking? If it’s $600 or less & the bore is in decent shape, it’s hard to go wrong. You could sell it for about the same. If it’s over $1000, do a lot more research before committing.

i was going to yell yugoslavian on those stock numbers but damn those are big even for a yugo stock.
