Manufactured in 1943. Barrel marked "RA/flaming bomb/5-43" with fixed blade front and stamped adjustable rear peep sights, standard receiver markings, stamped and braised trigger guard, and "R" marked bolt components. Correct straight grip stock with "RA", "crossed cannons", and "FJA" stamps on the left side above the trigger, circled "P" proof on bottom of the wrist, and checkered trapdoor buttplate.

Excellent. 95% plus original parkerized finish remains with some light edge wear, handling marks overall, and scratches on the blued components. The stock and handguard set are very fine with extensive dings visible on both sides of the handguard, sharp markings, and some spotting on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
