This Danzig has quite a pedigree: Sam pulled it out of the woodwork but sold it to a mutual friend when he upgraded. The mutual friend then passed it to me.
It’s a great warhorse with rust toned metal yet spectacular bluing. The stock wood is very nice overall, with a large shrapnel strike on the butt. Bolt, front sight, cleaning rod, and one rear sight tab are mismatched. The matching parts have acceptance consistent with Danzig, and the font has the wavy 2s that Danzig dropped by 1916.
