Chamber dated "1944", with an importer mark on the barrel.

Fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining most of the finish with some light pitting under the finish, dried arsenal grease, some minor freckling/brown patina, and light handling marks. The stock is very good as arsenal sanded and re-oiled with a sliver missing from the forend, a splice repair in the nose, and scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically functions.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining much of the finish with some minor edge wear, some scattered minor patches of spotting/freckling, plum coloration on the barrel, and light handling wear.
