*SPRINGFIELD / DANISH M-1D GARAND. SN 305494. Cal. 30. 24″ bbl. This rifle is a 1941 M-1 Garand that has been turned into a Model D sniper rifle by a foreign arsenal, probably Denmark. It retains the following list of components: A 1941-era Springfield Armory receiver with a 1947 sight assembly and the rear sight spring has a foreign government anchor (possibly navy) with the number “1574” stamped into it. The operating rod is a “65” Springfield with a number 8 follower and a long fork follower rod. The bbl assembly has the “D” block mounted to it and has the code of “RSC 1955” with a “PK” in a circle. The gas cylinder assembly is a standard wide pad Springfield. The trigger housing and all components within are Beretta. The M-84 telescope shows the “FKF” with crown markings and the number “2435216” beneath it. The butt stock shows to be a late-WWII Springfield with the Danish sighting sticker in the channel. Rifle is also equipped with a 2/52 cheek piece that is tied to the stock but not installed, and a web sling. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Receiver shows 98% of a foreign or commercial parkerizing, with the op-rod showing 75% orig finish on the handle but with the finish gone on the piston. Trigger housing shows approx. 75% orig finish with some scratches on the bottom from the sling hasp. Bbl retains 95% orig blackened finish with some brightness to the muzzle. The gas cylinder assembly shows 95% of its finish with approx. 65% on the lock. Scope shows 90% of its orig blue with the majority of wear being on the knob covers, with the rubber eyepiece showing some slight damage but no drying or cracking. Scope optics are clear, but there is some light debris internally. Butt stock and handguards show fair with numerous dings and gouges, with the cheek piece showing near-new. Sling appears to be Beretta and shows in near-excellent condition. T/E is just over 3, with the bore being bright and shiny. Mechanics are good. 4-37332 BK44 (1,500-2,500)
