Manufactured in 1957 without sights on the heavy barrel, fitted with two scope blocks and two filler screws at the muzzle for front sight mounting. Marksman 1A stock with sling swivels and checkered steel buttplate. Triggerplate marked ""O.T." and "PULL" beside their own respective screws. Includes original wooden shipping crate with end label confirming no sights, stock, and the heavy barrel as well as the correct hang tag.

Very fine, retaining 90% original blue finish with slight plum coloration on the receiver, scattered minor spotting, and light handling evidence. The refinished stock is very fine with a few minor dings and spots of varnish wear. The crate is very fine with a legible end label and moderate wear overall. Mechanically excellent.
