Various crown over script letter proofs marked on the right side of the receiver, rear sight, front barrel band, right side of the buttstock and front magazine well tang and "B.A.M.I.1.44." on the front barrel band. The full matching serial number "4625e" is found on the barrel, bolt handle, receiver, and the magazine housing just rear of the front screw.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 85% plus original blue finish remains on the barrel sharp markings, light handling marks, light high point and edge wear, and small surface scratches. The receiver and bolt have an armory bright finish with deeply struck clear markings, and 60% of the original nitre blue on the bolt release. The wood is very fine as re-oiled with clear markings and a few scattered pressure indentations. Mechanically excellent.
