Manufactured in 1949. Ramped, hooded beaded blade front sight, replacement fully adjustable Lyman rear peep sight mounted on the receiver, factory drilled and tapped barrel with filler screws, standard markings, and Winchester "WP" proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. Standard receiver markings. The trigger plate is correctly marked "SPORTING" ahead of the guard. Diamond pattern checkered pistol grip stock with forend cap, hard rubber grip cap, raised cheekpiece, and checkered steel buttplate. Additional cutout in stock rear of receiver sight cutout.

Very fine. 97% plus original blue finish remains with some light handling marks, small trace of edge wear, crisp checkering and some small scattered dings on the otherwise very fine, modified stock. Mechanically excellent.
