Blade front and adjustable peep rear sights, with "DRC IHC" marked windage drum and "IHC" elevation drum. Receiver marking is unique style in that there is a separation between "U.S." and "RIFLE"/"CAL" and ".30 M1", and is referred to by collectors as "Gap Letter", indicating Springfield Armory manufacture. International Harvester bolt, trigger housing, hammer, safety, and operating rod. Barrel is marked "LMR" and dated "6 53". Smooth pistol grip stock, with a circled "P" on the grip, Department of Defense cartouche on the left side, and a checkered buttplate.

Very fine, with 97% of the original parkerized finish, showing some edge and cycling wear, along with some light handling marks. The reoiled stock is fine, with some scattered dings and dents. Mechanically excellent.
