The high-wood oval-cut walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in very good condition with numerous light handling marks and a few light dings scattered throughout, the stock clearly stamped ''8443'' in the sling cut with the faint remnants of a ''WRA / GHD'' cartouche and Ordnance Wheel on the right side of the butt; the handguard is ''OI'' marked. A name tape has been added to the underside of the forend reading ''HARTL HUBERT''. The original receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, the bolt and recoil plate are Winchester-made with the remaining marked paarts from a variety of contractors, and the top of the receiver next to the bolt is neatly marked ''BAVARIA FORESTRY POLICE-O''. The carbine features a stamped adjustable rear sight, flat bolt, rotary safety, and a Type I barrel band. Included is a CMP Certificate of Authenticity serialized to the rifle; no magazine is present. A solid refurbished carbine, later used by the Bavarians to patrol the large swathes of their forests.
