Manufactured in November of 1941, the matching dated chamber of this rifle bears a number of markings from the Birmingham Proof House, including the "crown/BNP" proof, tonnage marks and a crossed scepter acceptance mark, suggesting the rifle was part of the material extended to Great Britain via the Lend-Lease program. Blade front and peep rear sights, with an early metal screw plus on the former and a set of "BATTLE RANGE" marked flat knobs on the latter, Springfield barrel, bolt, trigger guard, trigger housing, hammer, safety, and operating rod. Smooth stock, with a serrifed circled "P" on the wrist, "S.A./G.H.S." and a crossed cannon cartouche on the left side, brown leather sling, and a checkered steel buttplate.

Near excellent with 95% of the correct original parkerized finish, showing some mild wear edge wear and handling marks overall, a few small patches of spotting on the muzzle and buttplate. The gas tube has turned a mixed gray and black color. The stock is very fine with some cracks and chips in the handguard and scattered dents. Mechanically excellent.
