Description:

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 and "J.A./30-'06" on the chamber. Fitted with a two-piece stock featuring a checkered steel buttplate and a brown leather sling. Included with the group is a Johnson spike bayonet, 11 3/4" overall with a 7 1/2" blade and a leather sheath. 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.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 95% original parkerized finish remains with some light edge wear and small handling marks. The lightly sanded and reoiled stock is fine with some small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent. Bayonet is good with heavy edge wear.
