Fairly typical match gun of the late 1960s. Occasionally you find one having with a fixed rear sight, rather than the Ellison or Kensight. Fixed sight NMs date prior to 1965. Some fixed sight versions saw combat service in RVN. My brother has one which was carried by a Marine W04 and it is his EDC.
