Final pictures post; some nice evening light to showcase the rifle;
Close up of the rear barrel band showing Tula proof mark I stamped;
Close shot of bolt area and scope;
And finally a nice high res shot showing the whole rifle;
The finish is notably more matte vs the shiny finish from the fresh shellac. A very light weathering job was done on the metal components, scope and stock to give it a "lived in" look without getting drastic. As this is a supposed to be a 1936 manufactured rifle, it should only have a few years of "hard living" on it.
