It features a wooden stock and handguards with a dark reddish-brown finish, complemented by parkerized or blued steel metal components. The visible barrel marking confirms “HRA 6535448 4-55 A500”, indicating an H&R barrel manufactured in April 1955. The operating rod is also marked “HRA”. A faint cartouche is visible on the stock. The rifle is fitted with a black fabric sling.


Condition report:

The metal components show typical operational wear and some minor finish thinning, particularly on edges and high points. There is no apparent significant damage or heavy corrosion.
