The Cyrillic characters "ЗШ" at the outset of your SKS' original serial number indicate production in a country speaking new Slavic. Russia and Serbia (then Yugoslavia) were the only countries speaking new Slavic to produce SKS rifles.
Is the bolt carrier black? If so, I’m guessing Russian refurb. Better pics would help. Appears to be an aftermarket stock also?
Thx , auction says Tula . Yes bolt looks black. What is receiver cover configuration for? Scope ? Serial number would be 1950’s Russian? Value guess ?

Definitely Russian. Definitely no collector value. Just a shooter. Aftermarket receiver cover, Tapco stock, etc.
Most, but not all, Russian SKS rifles have chrome lined bores. None of the Serbian SKS rifles have chrome lined bores.
Got a reply from YooperJohn , same response as DLL . No collector value , return and missing several matching number parts .... Just a shooter. I was thinking the 1008 serial number would helpvalue. Did not get answer if that was very beginning of production. Thx to all, stay safe .
