Condition overall is good, with the metal mostly toned brown, with patina to the receiver, and some areas of pitting to the barrel along the wood line.

Otherwise, showing typical marks associated with age and military use. Action operates smoothly but the extractor is missing. Bore with scattered dark spots, rifling is good. Est.: $600-$800.
