Description
A Fabrique Nationale Model 1900 semi-automatic rifle, chambered in .35 Remington. This vintage rifle is constructed from blued steel and features a checkered walnut stock and forend. The receiver is marked “FABRIQUE NATIONALE D’ARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL BELGIQUE” and “BROWNING’S PATENT DEPOSE.” Additional markings on the bolt include “PV”, “ELG” within an oval, “Λ-R”, “51”, and a faint “17.4mm” stamp.

The rifle is fitted with a dark, ventilated rubber or hard plastic buttplate embossed with “RED HEAD BRAND”, “CHICAGO”, “PATENT PENDING”, and a duck logo, plus the number “1”.
