Description:Blade front and tangent rear sights, "AL" (Armee Luxembourg) mark on top of the chamber, and a "flaming bomb" proof and "0" on the left side ahead of the blued steel scope base. Matching numbers are present on the stock, receiver, cover, bolt, and bolt carrier. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock, with a brown leather sling and a steel trapdoor buttplate. Included with the rifle is a bayonet with sheath and frog, blued clamp-on grenade launcher with leather pouch, and an "A.B.L.-1951" marked scope with sun shade installed in an Echo-brand ring set. This rifle is not in the reported serial number range for the Luxembourg contract sniper rifles.
Rating Definition:Excellent, with 97% original black finish, with some bright takedown lines at the rear of the receiver, some rubbing on the sides of the trigger guard and around the edge of the buttplate, and mild handling marks overall. The stock is in very fine condition, with some scuffing from contact with the dust cover and mild dings and scratches overall. The exterior finish of the scope remains 60% intact, slightly faded on the balance, and the optics remain crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
