This is why I came to the 70 gurus. Rifle in question is on consignment at a local shop. Listed as pre war, Asking $1600. Hard to take pictures of a rifle on the rack. Don’t need it, but very cool and would like to have it.
13xxx serial number. I believe the metal is possibly refinished. Last digit is somewhat feint, as well as the proof? On the opposite side. Not drilled on rear bridge, nor side. Receiver has a nice matte finish, barrel is a glossy blue.
The repair on the wood stock on the right side of the cloverleaf, small piece grafted into it, pinned in place and finished to nearly match. The rest of the stock looks original.
I’d wager as it sits it looks to be in the 90% range, some basic handling marks. That is if the metal is original finish, but suspect it isn’t.
Looking to offer them 9-1100.
