Mike D. and Chuck in Denver: Thanks for the useful comments. I'm not concerned about its originality, just interested in its history. I don't think my photos adequately illustrated how unused it appears to be. If it is an arsenal overhaul they did one heck of a good job! Do either of you see any markings on my photos that relate to either original issue or site of later overhaul. I gather from some references that these were not intended as front line weapons but were issued on an interim basis whilst production of the Garandicon was ramping up. Thanks again,

Ridolpho
