Manufactured in 1938 with a blade front sight, folding ladder rear sight, and a "SA/8-38" marked barrel. The receiver is equipped with an "NS" marked nickel steel bolt. Smooth pistol grip stock, with "B3" stamped on the underside ahead of the magazine"00" on the bottom of the grip, canvas sling, and a finely checkered flat buttplate.

Very good with 85% of the deep parkerized finish showing some bright wear on the high points and front sight base and mild handling marks. The stock is good as reoiled with scattered dents and scuffs. The trigger guard floorplate is a refinished replacement. The sling is fair with heavy oil absorption and mild wear. Mechanically excellent.
