Description:

Manufactured in August of 1944 and later lent to Denmark for use by their Navy before returning to the States. Blade and adjustable peep sight with "DRC" and "V AR" marked knobs and "PB" wings. Springfield barrel dated "5-52", Springfield bolt, trigger housing, hammer, and safety, with a "BMB" operating rod. The inventory mark "(anchor)/8280" is engraved on the rear sight cover and on a brass disc installed on the pistol grip, with the stock additionally marked with dual "P" stamps on the wrist and a matching number on the underside, with a matching numbered 1962 dated Danish "FKF" label inside the operating rod channel and a checkered buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine as arsenal refurbished, with 85% plus arsenal parkerized finish, showing some edge wear, handling marks, and areas of spotting and gray patina. The stock is good, with a number of dents and scuffs. Mechanically functions, but operating rod binds up, very stiff.
