The receiver is marked with FNA-B manufacturer stamps, clearly visible and consistent with Italian military production standards. The wood stock shows arsenal markings, including clear stampings indicating the rifle’s military heritage. A leather sling is attached, matching the period and adding utility. The barrel and metal components retain a worn blued finish consistent with age and military use.
CONDITION: The rifle shows moderate wear throughout, consistent with military use. The stock exhibits numerous scratches, dents, and wear marks, with noticeable handling wear near the wrist and butt. Arsenal markings remain clear and legible. The metal components show finish loss, patina, and areas of oxidation, particularly on the barrel and receiver. The action cycles smoothly, and no mechanical issues are evident from external inspection. The bore presents visible fouling with visible signs of previous use, requiring a detailed cleaning and inspection. The leather sling exhibits age-related wear but remains intact and functional.
