The light curve of V1974 Cyg shows two distinct periodicities. The shorter periodicity is clearly the orbital period of the binary system. We show that the longer variation has similar features to permanent superhumps. This result indicates the existence of an accretion disk in the system no later than 30 months after the nova outburst. We used the precessing disk model of the superhump phenomenon and previous results in order to estimate that the white dwarf mass is at the range 0.75 – 1.07 M⊙.
