This is a very fine example of a WWII Tula production M1940 Russian Tokarev sniper rifle. The top of the receiver is marked with a "Star" over 1941 for the Tula Arsenal and the year of manufacture and the left side has the Russian serial number and Cyrillic numbering, along with a small boxed "SA" Finnish Capture and reissue proof mark. The stock and handguard are the correct wartime versions with no visible proof marks or serial number. The mount appears to be an original WWII version with the small star on the back along with a non-matching rifle serial number. The scope is a correct WWII Tokarev version that is marked on the front end with the Russian manufacturers proof mark consisting of a small single Star/Russian Hammer and Sickle/ No. 15568/1941. It is complete with an original cleaning rod, one Tokarev magazine and a small post war green Russian style sling.
