Description:
22LR; 99% blue, mint bore, near mint stock, 22'' barrel, Minty FN takedown (as per included copies of letters/invoices of provenance) originally purchased from the FN factory on 12 September 1945, by US Army Sergeant Elden M Smith for 1200 Belgian francs as well as an additional 10 packs of cigarettes paid for the custom engraving. Sgt Smith purchased this gun for his friend, Roy Imig of Minier Illinois, whose name is engraved on top of the receiver. See included copy of note, hand written by Sgt Smith on the back of the original sales receipt. Other than the most very minor handeling marks, this is a remarkably near mint engraved rifle, along with a WWII soldiers' story of a gift to his good friend
