It features a blade front sight in a raised mount, elevation and windage adjustable folding ladder rear sight graduated 1-6 on the "C" marked base and to 20 on the "C" marked ladder. Standard left side receiver markings, smooth straight wrist half stock marked with a boxed script "JSA/1901" cartouche, high hump handguard, single barrel band, and curved toe steel buttplate with a trapdoor compartment containing a cleaning rod and oiler. "GDM" (George D. Moller) collection initials marked at the toe of the stock. Provenance: The George Moller Collection

Fine, retaining 75% original blue finish on the barrel, band, trigger guard and buttplate. Retains 70% oil-quenched casehardened finish on the receiver and components with some light flaking on the bolt sleeve. Stock is very fine with crisp grasping grooves, some light scratches and dents, a few chips, and a crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
