Love model 1s, I have a 1948 deluxe walnut model 1 that my grandfather bought brand new, unfortunately it has the pitting under the barrel but is otherwise original with its original magazine, missing its sight hood unfortunately (I lost it in the bush)
It has been a hard working farm rifle and spent most of its life bouncing around in a series 1 land rover in the Natal north coast humidity so it certainly has a lot of "character!"
Enjoy yours, they are special!
