Wow, what a beaut! Worth every penny, I'm sure. :Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1: :Drool1:

I have only seen one cleaner-ever. A unissued scratchless model owned by another member here and he paid a thousand bucks to get it. This was a rare opportunity here and you jumped on it! Congrats pgaplayerless.

Quite an anomaly, as well.

The U.S. Surcharged production did not begin until nearly 300,000 units after that one was built. I have only seen three or four others before the 1.165 million serial number with the U.S. Eagles. One even had a curved logo. Just theory, but these early production rifles must have been left over at NEW when the U.S. Gov't purchased the final order.

So aside from being quite nice, it is an extremely rare occurrence.
No words of wisdom come to mind at this time....

I bought a 1937 Tula Finn capture from this seller last week. His descriptions are very accurate.
