Extremely rare, possibly the only one in existence, considering that the M1 is an American rifle and the Soviet Union has never produced any rifles of that design.
You are misinformed either regarding the origin of the rifle, or the kind of rifle that it is.
Maybe.....or maybe not. The US supplied the USSR with M3 tanks and P39 warplanes, so perhaps a batch of M1 Garands was included, or less probably the Soviets may have copied it. In either case, Soviet markings would have been included. In the 1800's, General Gorloff purchased American gatling guns for the Russian Army, but he had the brass "Gatling" plates removed from them and replaced with plates that said "Gorloff." Hence, a mutli-barrel revolving gun is known today as a gatling in the West, and as a gorloff in Russia. If the Garand was used on the Russian Front, it was an experiment only, as it was impossible to chamber the Garand for the Russian rifle cartidge used at that time, and still used today by the Dragunov sniping rifle. The year 1940 makes this scenario more unlikely, as the US did not begin to supply the USSR until 1942. If you own such a rifle, take it to a firearms expert who can tell you if it is real or counterfeit.
In 1940, frozen food was very rare. Food was either fresh, canned, smoked or dried. Some foods might be kept cool in the icebox- a few had refrigerators- but most food would be stored in a pantry or cupboard.
Up to $700, depending on condition, rare/unique markings, etc.

very very rare!
Bubonic plague does still exist in the world, but it is rare.
Yes there were in the Soviet times but is rare to ever see one.
Made in the 1940's. Many were produced, not rare at all. sales@countrygunsmith.net
The team signed baseballs from the 1940's are not as rare as you might think. Team signed baseballs fron the 1940's in excellent plus condition might be on the rare side. The players in the day signed baseball as often or more than the player today. It was part of the job of being a ballplayer. unlike the players of today they did not get paid for it. Baseballs from the early to mid 1940's sell at a lower value than the baseballs in the later 1940's. most Major League stars were off fighting in the war.
1940 is not a rare date for Lincoln cents. In circulated condition, it's worth about 3 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about 50 cents.

The baseball cards that have been printed since the 1940's and are rare.
They're wheat ears, not wheat straws. Cents from the 1940s are not rare. A 1940-D will sell for a nickel or so if worn, up to a dollar if like new.
Scott Duff has a book that is very good. Everything is a lot to ask for on the computer, so I suggest you follow the above advice and read the book, but here are a few highlights. Like most inventors, John Garand was somewhat eccentric. The Garand rifle was originally chambered for the .276 Pederson cartridge, but Doug MacArthur was Chief of Ordinance in the 30's and he decreed (wisely in my opinion) that all US rifle-caliber weapons be 30-06, reducing the M-1 Garand's capacity from ten to eight rounds. The M1903 sling was also compatible with the Garand, and the US ammo pouch accepted the 8-round Garand clips as easily as the 5-round M1903 clips. The M-1 Garand was adopted by the US Army in 1936 but produced in small numbers. In 1941 the Garand rifle beat the Johnson rifle and the M1903 as the USMC rifle. After the US entered the war, production could not keep up with demand, and an M-1 Garand was not in the hands of every American rifleman until 1943-44, although the M1903 continued for sniping and grenade-launching. The Germans had a semi-automatic rifle called the Gewehr 43 which was a good semi-automatic weapon, but simply was not as reliable and robust as the M1 (due to being made of crude parts and machining from mass supply shortages) nor was it as easly to produce or mantain in the field as the Garand rifle, so it was used mostly as a sniping rifle instead of a battle rifle, even then, it was very rare to encounter since it was never mass produced. The M-1 rifle fought again in Korea with the US and other armies, and it was replaced by the the M-14 in 1956. The US M-14 and the Italian BM59 are near-copies of the M-1 Garand in operation, but firing the smaller .308 Winchester cartridge.
The dates 1940 1941 are not rare. Average value is 3 cents for circulated coins that are well worn. Uncirculated coins can be $2 to $3 dollars or more depending on grade.
The twins that are connected from the Dorsal or rear union at the spine. Very rare incidence.
It would be a spectacular rarity because the last buffalo nickels were made in 1938. Please check your coin again.
The value of a Springfield M1 Garand can vary significantly based on factors such as its condition, rarity, and historical significance. Generally, prices can range from around $1,000 for a standard model in good condition to over $3,000 for rare variants or those in excellent condition. Collectors often seek specific features, such as the original barrel or unique markings, which can further influence value. For an accurate appraisal, consulting recent sales or a firearms expert is recommended.
