Manufactured in 1917. The barrel is marked behind the front sight "S A/flaming bomb/1- 17". The bolt is stamped with the steel lot code "I4" on the underside of the safety lug. Mounted on a smooth walnut straight grip stock with grasping grooves, one reinforcing bolt, a boxed "J.S.A." cartouche on the left wrist, a circled script "P" cartouche on the underside of the wrist and "219" stamped over the checkered steel buttplate tang. The handguard has spring clips and a sight notch.

Very good as assembled, the barrel and rear sight base retain traces of the blue finish with some pitting under the finish. The receiver has a silvery brown patina with pitting along the stock line that has been touched up with cold blue. The buttplate is a replacement with 95% olive green parkerized finish remaining. The stock is very good with a repair at the heel, scattered scratches and dings, and sharp cartouches. Mechanically excellent.

Manufactured circa 1907 with the barrel marked "R.I.A./flaming bomb/4- 07" behind the standard front sight. The bolt has the steel lot code "C13" on the front of the safety lug. Mounted on a smooth nicely figured walnut straight grip stock with grasping grooves, a boxed script "C.N./1907" cartouche, a circled script "P" proof on the bottom of the wrist and a smooth steel buttplate with trapdoor (empty). The handguard has spring clips but no sight notch.

Good, strong traces of the original finish remain in the protected areas with a gray or brown patina on the balance. There are scattered dings and scratches. The rear sight is a later production replacement. The stock is very good as sanded with scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically needs work as safety does not easily engage.
