That must be a very early version. Both of the ones I had had the same bolt handle as a typical FN Supreme, swept back with a checkered flat on the knob. I'd think it was a replacement bolt, but the same seller has an identical .270 listed.

My F.I. 1948 has the swept back bolt. Gotta wonder what the dates are on these, and if they're "c" or "h" collars.

EDIT: My bad. Only one rifle. For some reason, it appears in the additional items section as well as the main listing. Another difference I noticed is that the rear sight is dovetailed into the barrel just in front of the receiver, rather than fitted into a dovetail adapter screwed to the barrel. Curiouser and curiouser.
