The included capture papers confirm the model, serial number, caliber, and June 4, 1969 date of registration as a war trophy to a Captain Lawrence W. Roberts with HHB, IIFFV Arty, APO 96266. Standard hooded post front and tangent rear sights with the "triangle/26" factory marking on the left side of the receiver followed by three Chinese characters and the serial number. The trigger guard, magazine, bolt carrier and stock are numbered to the receiver. Fitted with a folding blade bayonet. Mounted with a hardwood pistol grip stock and vented handguard with grasping grooves and a flat steel buttplate with trapdoor containing a cleaning kit.

Fine. The carbine retains 50% original blue finish with some thinning to gray, some muzzle and edge wear, and some scratching on the barrel from the sling grommet. There is some minor spotting on the magazine. The revarnished stock is very good with some scattered minor dings and dents. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
