Blade front and adjustable 1,000 meter rear sights, the model and patent markings on top of the receiver, and a five-pointed star over "CRANSTON/ARMS/CO." in a triangle on the right side below the rear sight. The barrel is marked ".30-'06/41" on the flange, "JA/30-'06" on top of the chamber and "I(sword)O" on the underside. Fitted with a two-piece stock featuring a checkered steel buttplate. In August 1940, the Netherlands Purchasing Commission ordered 10,200 Johnson Automatic rifles to arm colonial troops in the Dutch East Indies. The Japanese invaded and captured the Dutch colonies in December 1941 before most of the Johnson Model 1941 rifles could be delivered. The U.S. Marine Corps tested the Johnson rifle in 1941 and, in early 1942, obtained a limited number of the Dutch contract Model 1941 rifles as a war expedient rifle until they could receive the Springfield M1 Garand rifle, with a few of these rifles issued to the 1st Parachute Battalion.

Fine, with 75% of the original parkerized finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, mild spotting and scattered handling marks. The wood is very good, with a number of dents, scuffs and chips. The buttstock is a bit undersized, exposing the sides of the receiver heel and part of the recoil assembly. Mechanically fine.
