Blade front and tangent rear sights, graduated to 1,000 meters, with the top of the chamber marked "WAFFENFABRIK/MAUSER/OBERNDORF A/N", a "crown/crown/U" proof on the upper left and the serial number on the left flat. Standard three line "D.R.P.u.A.P." marking on the right side of the frame, the "MAUSER" banner on the reverse, with milled panels, slotted back strap, lanyard ring and grooved hardwood grips. With a hardwood shoulder stock/holster with a tape tag on the side marked "WALKER, William F./18170670". A search identifies a William F. Walker Junior by that service number entering National Guard service in Louisiana in 1942.

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing patches of brown and gray patina on the barrel and extension, mild edge wear and scattered handling marks. Bright niter blue finish is visible on the small parts, with a few areas of light wear. Grips are also excellent, with minor dents. The stock is very fine, with the lid broken and glued back together, some fading of the varnish, and scattered dings. Mechanically excellent.
