That's USGI park; the Greek is nearly jet black & wears easily. The mtal appears perfect; the stock is in well-above average fro a Greek return. You have a very nice rifle!

I'm very pleased to have gotten a Greek return with both the USGI park and a walnut stock.
My (5) M1 books and various tools and goodies arrived in the mail from Fulton Armory yesterday. Can't wait to sit down and start reading.

great gun, are you happy now?
I think it's a long M14 sling also, at least that's what I have been told in the past. Nice rifle! BBQuote:

I always told myself I wanted an M1 bayonet and not a cut down 16"...but whoever did the work on this one did a beautiful job. The blade was so nice that I just had to get it instead of the crappier condition M1 that was the same price on the seller's table.

I know it's too early for my '54 Garand, but I like it!
Yesterday I also found a full 192 round Lake City ammo can in enbloc clips and bandoliers dated Jan. 1967. (9 months before I hit the scene!)

I picked up a Collector Grade Greek return about 4 years ago. I would have to say it is 90-95 % new. Very little use, I guess my "cousins" over there took good care of some of our rifles!
