Congrats on your buy. You have a 1941 Izhvesk SVT-40. There were three arsenals that made them, Tula, Izhvesk and Podolsk. Kovrov never made SVT's.
[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Kovrov arsenal also produced the SVT 40 in a supplemental role beginning in the later part of 1940 and ending in 1941, less than a year later. At that time the Kovrov arsenal concentrated on producing machine-guns and airborne cannon for the Air Force. The Kovrov arsenal is located some 260 Km east of Moscow and up until recently discovered information was not associated with Tokarev production. [/FONT]
Interesting! Vic Thomas needs to clean up that section of his web site on the SVT-40, then:

Thanks AKguy. Does anyone have a bayonet on theirs?? It looks like the end of this week we may get above freezing. Can't wait to get out and shoot a little.
