Manufactured in 1938, with a "*" star gauge stamp on the muzzle of the "SA/2-38" barrel, with a Lyman globe front sight and ladder rear sight (with top volley notch) and "F/2635" under the handguard. Standard markings are present on the receiver, with a "S" and "NS" marked bolt, which has been electro-penciled on top to match the receiver and marked "CV" on the extractor. Fitted with a smooth matching serialized pistol grip stock (stamped "15119954" on belly), stamped "P" twice behind the trigger guard, "S" and "E" in the cutoff area, "S.A./S.P.G." twice on the left side, and fitted with a later production replacement brown leather sling marked "MRT" and a sharp checkered steel buttplate.

Very fine, with 90% plus of the original parkerization, showing some bright wear on the front sight base, mid band and high edges, scattered light spotting and handling marks, and a few areas of uneven texture. The revarnished stock is fine, with some scattered dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
