eBay and gunbroker, may take you years to find, unless someone fakes one. The SA stamping tool is out there. I do not recall any of my M39's having the SA on the bolt, just the Finn force matched serial number stamped on the bolt handle knob, a few numbers of it anyway. In the meantime any Russian bolt from any Mosin will fit it, just check the headspace.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Never heard of an SA marked bolt... Maybe a SAKO stamp I think...

As said above, the SA stamp was used on the barrel not the bolt. You can sometimes find M39's with Sako marked cocking knobs but usually M39's have bolts made from recycled Russian parts.
