I was offered this a number of years ago from a place I've been going to since 98' in Rahway, NJ. I did post the original condition pics back a few years ago. Honestly, I'd be very happy to have the one you found also. I can't imagine mine having seen any war time in it's condition so it's kinda just a nice rifle without much history to speak of. Your's is a true war relic with the scars to prove it. If I ever sell it, I'll offer it to you first. :D
