Something I just noticed, the 4 in the 1948 is a different font than the 4s on the back.

1948 was hand scribed.

I think I am going to sell this interesting piece soon. Just bought another 1948 receiver cover and a much more interesting 1946 year labeled receiver cover. Both are non-demilitarized.

You can't just drop that and not show photos of the '46!

Never seen or heard of anything like that. Possibly a cover from a trials rifle like a SKS arr.1943?

It is the 1st time I have ever seen uncut 1946 SKS receiver cover.

Rule #1 Never trust the accuracy of Soviet photographs. ;-)
