Milled components, with matching numbers overall.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 75% of the original blue finish, showing a mixed brown and gray patina on the barrel bands, bayonet lug, and trigger guard assembly, some bright edge wear and scattered light handling marks. The stock is very good as lightly sanded and refinished, with fine grain and some light dings. The bayonet is very fine, with 85% original blue, and some shallow pitting concentrated on the sheath and hilt. Mechanically excellent.
