I didn't see any markings on the bolt. There was what looked like maybe 2 dimples top towards the head, but there is plenty of dried grease so I'm not sure.

There is a scuff on barrel that will likely come out when I degrease and recoil...lots of dried oil and grease. Other than this, the exposed finish as well as that covered by wood is darn near 100%.

This one was graded "very good to fine". After reading the grade descriptions, I think this missed the cut only because of the dings in the stock.

Next up, some pics of the bore, then scrub a dub dub, and some pics all cleaned up.
