Assembled at the Saginaw Steering Gear plant after the cancellation of the Irwin-Pedersen contract. Blade front and flip up two-leaf rear peep sight marked "S" on the left and "RG-S'G'" on the right, "11-43" dated Underwood barrel, "S'G'" marked milled trigger group, "S'G'" hammer, "S'G'" marked push button safety, unmarked magazine catch, and unmarked operating rod. Smooth low wood pistol grip stock with "unmarked two rivet handguard, type I narrow barrel band with unmarked swivel, oval cut oiler slot, "O/RSG" marking in the stock slot, and boxed "SG" and ordnance "crossed cannons" stamps on the right, and "S-S3" marked checkered buttplate.

Very fine as restored to World War II configuration. 85% war time parkerized finish remains on the metal with distinct markings, some mild edge wear, handling marks overall, and cycling marks on the blued bolt. The lightly sanded, reoiled wood is fine with some small dings and spotting on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
