It has darkened from age & oil, with several small nicks & dings. It carries a faint Circle-P armory proof stamp behind trigger guard, w/ two well worn letters. The upper hand gaurd has a 2'' hairline crack at the receiver end. Receiver is marked ''Model 1898'' in front of U.S. Springfield Armory & SN on left side. The metal blue finish rates 50% on barrel, with all other parts having an even brown patina. Bore is very good, with strong rifling, but rust spotting.
