The trigger guard is more worn than the rest of the rifle. The wood is in great condition with minor dings here and there. The stock is stamped with the Chilean crest. The receiver is stamped with the emblem of the Carabineros and motto. The rifle is matching on the receiver, bolt, safety flag, bolt release lever, safety body, rear barrel band, nose cap, magazine housing, cleaning rod, and magazine floor plate. The bore is very bright with sharp rifling. The rifle is marked above the bayonet lug. Comes with a Mauser-style bayonet without any markings.
