Manufactured in 1940 as indicated by the "B" serial number prefix with beaded blade front and adjustable sporting rear sights, standard barrel markings, smooth forearm and pistol grip stock, and serrated buttplate.

Excellent. 99% original blue finish remains with a few light handling marks. The receiver has 98% plus original vibrant case colors with some light cycling marks on the hammer, and minor silvering on the lever. The wood is also excellent with a few scattered dings with the most noticeable being on the toe of buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
