Description:

The left side of the receiver is marked "U.S. / MODEL 1898. SPRINGFIELD ARMORY." followed by the serial number. It is fitted with the late style M1902 adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight. Milled barrel bands, trigger guard and the trapdoor buttplate. It has the correct full length walnut stock and handguard that has a boxed "JSA / 1900" cartouche on the left side with a circled script "P" proof mark in the pistol grip area behind the trigger guard. The rifle has blued components with a casehardened finish on the loading gate, cocking piece and safety with a polished bolt and extractor. Complete with a "weathered" correct leather sling.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with approximately 90% of the slightly faded original blue finish with light muzzle wear, some minor thinning on the barrel and barrel bands and heavy thinning on the trigger guard. The receiver is excellent with most of the correct "oil-quenched" casehardened finished. The stock is excellent with some minor handling marks. The trigger guard retains 50% blue. The sling is good with some sporadic areas of heavy flaking and some minor to heavy cracking overall. The action is excellent.
