"H" marked on the bayonet lug, "F 1" marked on the rear bolt lug, the left stock wrist is stamped with the Ordnance final inspection initials "J.F.C." in a rectangle, and a small "15" above a circled script "P" firing proof stamped behind the trigger guard.

Excellent, with 90% plus original blue finish, showing mild handling marks and edge wear overall. The receiver retains 98% strong original dark case color, with brighter colors on the cut-off and bolt components. The stock is also excellent, with mild dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
