This is a very scarce Soviet ammunition magazine pouch for the SVT-40. The SVT-40 (Samozaryadnaya Vintovka Tokareva, Obrazets 1940 goda, \"Tokarev self-loading rifle, model of 1940\", Russian: Самозарядная винтовка Токарева, образец 1940 года, often nicknamed \"Sveta\") was a Soviet semi-automatic battle rifle. It was designed as a replacement for its predecessor, the SVT-38.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SVT-40 saw widespread service during and after World War II. It was intended to be the Soviet Red Army's new service rifle, but its production was disrupted by the German invasion in 1941, resulting in a change back to the Mosin–Nagant rifle for the duration of World War II. After the war, the Soviet Union adopted new rifles, such as the SKS and the AK-47.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch is in great shape overall with heavy verdigris on the metal fittings. It’s a bit stiff but the straps are fully functional and retain their light brown color. A great piece of Soviet field gear, ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41965281935429,"sku":"ONJR24READ037","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR24READ037__01.jpg?v=1726793319","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-soviet-wwii-red-army-svt-40-magazine-pouch-1","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
