Manufactured in early 1942 with the standard front and rear sights. The barrel is marked "R A/flaming bomb/1- 42". The bolt is marked with an "R" on the various parts. Mounted on a smooth walnut straight grip stock with grasping grooves, two reinforcing bolts, a boxed "RLD" cartouche on the left wrist, a circled "P" proof on the underside of the wrist, a "C" underneath the proof, "N(broad arrow)Z/8496" on the right side of the buttstock, a smooth steel buttplate with trapdoor (empty) and a handguard with spring clips and sight notch.

Fine as partially refinished (stock), 90% plus of the original olive green parkerized finish remaining with some scattered minor dings and scratches. There is some moderate pitting on the middle barrel band under the finish. The heavily sanded revarnished stock is good with some scratches and dents. Mechanically excellent. Bayonet is very good with some scattered cleaned minor pitting. Scabbard is excellent. Sling is very good.
