This is the one that was posted on Facebook. So far I think I found everything on line related to these fine rifles. One thing I am still not certain is how to decipher serial number suffix. From what I am guessing is mine a L suffix? Would that put this rifle as to being made December 1944? From what I can see all numbers match.
The story goes is a gentleman came in to the gunshop with this rifle asking for it to be cleaned and checked out as he was going to sell it to a family member. It was brought home by his dad. The gun shop told me they cleaned the bore some and wiped the metal , I can see it still has some freckling here and there. Inside trigger guard they didn’t touch , so guessing the rest of rifle could have looked like that when it was brought in. I was told the wood was untouched, they knew enough to leave it alone he said. Some tape residue/shadowing on right side. The shop told the son if it does not work out bring it back and they will buy it. Sure enough couple weeks go by and the son brings it back and says it did not work out with family member so he sold it to the shop. Likely the shop paid him more then the relative would.
So here it is, Came with a matching to itself 41 bayonet with 41 frog.
