CONDITION: This gun is in nice condition with very light wear, has an excellent sharp/ clean bore and appears to be in good working order. HISTORY: Known as the Gevaer m/50 in Denmark, the M1 Garand was used in quantity by the Danes for several decades after World War II. The majority of these rifles were given as military aid, but the Danes also ordered some from Italy. At the time Italy was a primary contractor for M1 Garand replacement parts for NATO forces in Europe. Beretta built Garands under contract for various counties. The Danish contract consisted of approximately 20,000 rifles produced, which was split evenly between Breda and Beretta. Breda rifles will be marked BMR on the receiver heel, and Beretta made rifles will be marked PB in the same place. FREE SHIPPING & NO PROCESSING FEES.
