Description:

Originally up for consideration by the Netherlands Purchasing Commission as a service weapon for colonial troops in the Dutch East Indies, a large order for the Johnson Rifle was placed in 1940, but the Japanese invasion of the East Indies prevented delivery. A number of these Dutch Johnsons were procured by the U.S. Marine Corps as a substitute for the M1 Garand and saw action in the Pacific. Blade front and adjustable 1,000 meter rear sights, the model and patent markings on top of the receiver, and a five-pointed star over "CRANSTON/ARMS/CO." in a triangle on the right side below the rear sight. The barrel is marked ".30-'06/41" on the flange and "J.A./30-'06" on the chamber. Fitted with a two-piece stock featuring a checkered steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 98% of the original parkerized finish, showing mild spotting on the barrel, a brown patina on the magazine housing, and light handling marks overall. The stock is very fine, with a semi-circular hairline crack visible on top of the wrist, and some light dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
