NB - EXCELLENT- near new condition 95% - 98%, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing near perfect (some wear at muzzle or sharp edges can be expected).

Manufactured in 1944. "N" marked blade front sight, "I.R.CO." marked adjustable peep rear sight, "7-44" dated Inland Division barrel, "MMQ" marked Type III barrel band with "EM-Q" marked bayonet lug, round bolt, flip safety, and "A.I." marked magazine. Low wood stock with 4-rivet hand guard, circled "P" proof, "crossed cannons" cartouche and "IO" marked sling cutout.

Excellent, retaining 97% original parkerized finish with some light handling marks. Stock is also excellent with defined edges, some minor scratches and dents, and nice stampings. Mechanically excellent.
