Looks like a Tula stamp.
OP, nice 1954 build you have there. Tula used the star, while the Izhevsk factory marked its guns with a triangle
Correct, you have a '54 Tula

Bolt underside should be stamped as well. Did it come with cleaning kit in buttstock as well?
Nice package. Shouldn't be to difficult to find a period correct sling if you don't have one. A mess full of stripper clips and you're g2g! Nice looking rifle. If you decide to redo the stock, those round marks on the side by the recoil lug assembly screw should come out easy.yes it did.
Happy to help if I can. Make sure to take good pics of arsenal marks.I have 2 other sks that I’m going to show pics of. 1 is set up to take ak magazines . It too looks unfired. The other I think is a Tula that I have owned for years.
