Wear patterns on correct M1

[browningautorifle]

I have a Danish return that has no electro pencilling. Mine is like that. It came in with a matching finish and perfect 1959 marked barrel. I've seen many with US barrels as well from this source. They truly used anything in the bin. There are so many sources that could have had it and returned it, and this done so long ago...it's hard to say just what took place. Not everyone marked their re-builds.

OK. The heavy sanding explains the faint cartouche and the wood in such great condition. If its a military rebuild, why didnt they replace the lock bar sights? Or repark it? This has a 10/44 SA barrel too. I guess some of this stuff I'll never know. Thanks to all. I still have volumes to learn. After reading many posts looking for similar M1's I have discovered there are many former Marines on this site. So Semper Fi!
