It sounds like you have a dd603, they were usually supplied in duplicate. The real value to the document would be to have it with the sks, it could add $200-$400 or more to the value of the SKS depending on the condition of SKS, the time period it was issued and many other variables. I'd guess the DD603 is worth a few dollars on it's own but not much as they are pretty common. I'd buy it from you for a few bucks as a display item...frame it and put it on the wall type of thing. It would look cool in my man cave. I tend to like vintage military gear.
I have a Vietnam SKS bringback in my collection with the form DD603 and a letter from the guy who brought it back. In the letter he identifies his duties, the base he was at and how he came by the SKS. The additional info adds value, but not much. Mine is unique as he also brought back a type 53 (a chinese mosin) rifle at the same time and I have that rifle. The coolest thing for me is that I was able to buy it from the guy who brought it back, met him at his house and got quite a story on his history. He actually ended up Iran after the war when we sold them F16's and then had to leave in a hurry when the political situation fell apart there
He told the story at the gun store when we did the transfer and had a small crowd standing around by the time he was done.
In any event it's a cool document, if that's what you have.
