Manufactured in 1940. Blade front and fully adjustable rear peep sights with "BATTLE RANGE" marked elevation drum, barrel marked "S-A 8-40", early pattern unrelieved Springfield operating rod, correct Springfield drawing and heat numbers on the receiver legs, Springfield bolt carrier, hammer, trigger guard, trigger group, and safety, and standard markings on the receiver heel. Oil finished, walnut pistol grip stock with a circled "P" proof on the underside of the wrist, boxed "SA/GHS" inspection mark on the left side, and stamped checkered trapdoor buttplate. With leather sling.

Very fine as professionally restored with 95% of the post-war parkerized finish, some color variance at the receiver heel, light edge wear on the op rod, and handling marks overall. The stock is fine with scattered dings, a larger dent at the left side of the wrist, and wear on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
