U.S. M1 Garand Rifle by Winchester
serial #2359397, 30-06, 24'' 4-60 dated VAR barrel with a bright excellent bore. In the years following WWII, the US gave M1 rifles as aid to many of our allies, the Danish being one that went even further to formally adopt the Garand as their primary rifle. These rifles are known for their strong condition, often refit with high quality domestically produced VAR barrels. The metal surfaces retain about 90% arsenal Parkerized finish with light wear on high edges and contact points, the stock ferrule, handguard ferrule, and handguard band clip toned largely to pewter, a few spots of oxidation and light handling marks, and mild thinning on the gas cylinder. The Danish beechwood pistolgrip stock is in very good plus condition with some scattered dings and light handling marks, the toeline clearly numbered to the rifle, and the walnut handguards are in very good condition with similar if more frequent dings and light handling marks. The receiver and barrel markings remain crisp, the primary small parts are of Springfield Armory origin, and the elevation knob is VAR-marked the same as the barrel. The rifle retains the standard open sights with T105 rear sight drums, a stamped triggerguard, and 2-slot gas cylinder screw. Included is a Certificate of Authenticity from the DCM serialized to the rifle and noting its Danish origin, contemporary M1 manual, and 50 yard target shot by the consignor. An attractive December 1943-made M1 rifle with an interesting history. (14A11700-74) {C&R} (1000/1500)
