With an undated "W" stamped barrel, blade front and fixed flip up two leaf rear peep sights, early style flat top blue bolt, unmarked push button safety, unmarked magazine catch, and standard markings on the receiver heel, and recoil shield. Early high wood stock with narrow type 1 barrel band, two rivet handguard, "W.R.A./G.H.D/" and "crossed cannons" stamps on the right side of the butt, and single "W" stamp in the sling cutout.

Excellent. 90% plus original parkerized finish remains with what appears to be a thin layer of protective varnish, mild high point and edge wear, handling marks overall, and some dark patina. The wood is also very fine with small dings throughout, clear markings, and some light chipping around the butt edge. Mechanically excellent.
