Manufactured in 1953. Beaded blade front and sporting type rear sight with standard barrel markings and factory proofed barrel and receiver. Grooved flat bottom forearm and smooth straight grip stock (attractive grain) with a factory checkered black hard rubber buttplate. Matching serial number on frame and lower tang.

Excellent. The rifle retains 98% plus original blue finish with extensive slide wear and light spotting (mostly on the barrel). The wood is excellent with some minor dings, scratches, and pressure marks with a couple long scratches on the forearm. Mechanically excellent.
