Hello, just wanted to share a recent addition to the WW1 collection, been wanting one of these for awhile. This will probably be my only example for now as it's not a primary focus of my collection, if I'm only going to have one it might as well be pretty. All matching except the cleaning rod and the bolt, bayonet lug appears to be a factory error numbered 75. This rifle came out of an estate near Fort Wayne, IN and I was told by a friend of mine helping with the collection that the previous owner probably scrubbed a few numbers on the bolt, I guess he thought it was better to be blank than mismatched 
. The bore is excellent, sharp rifling and bright/shiny. No import marks of course. This rifle was in the store with a price tag, it was eventually to be listed on gunbroker. Of course I had to go back the next day and grab it, the stock is beautiful and I figured it would go for way more on GB. They even came down a little bit on price and I ended up with a good deal, especially in today's crazy world of milsurp pricing. Thanks for looking and please let me know what ya think, she looks good next to the No1Mk3* I picked up from Jordan last year...(it's your fault for getting me thinking about Gew98's haha)
