Spotted at a local gun store in Missouri Valley, IA, Saginaw S'G' 1844171. Underwood 8-43 barrel with a nice bore. Blue Sky Import marked on left side of barrel. Very rough low-wood stock, oval oiler cutout, no slingwell marking I could see, 'P' stamped on the grip, no cartouche that I could see. Big gouges and scrapes/scratches on the stock, like it had been roughly sanded with 20-grit paper. Type 3 barrel band, adjustable rear sight, round bolt, flip safety, 30-round magazine, repro sling & oiler. I was not able to field-strip it to look at the internals. Shop owner said it was a consignment and the gun owner wanted $750.00 for it. Store also had a Springfield M1 Garand, Blue Sky Import, for $1000.00 in the rack.
