Collar wiggle "may" be OK but if collar slides I would replace it or fasten in place.

Yes sounds like chamber. If leaving a mark on brass you need to inspect chamber or take to a gunsmith who can

I would think a unissued bayo would be in cosmo and waxed paper. The leather scabbard would have been wrapped dray separately

This note is for those of you who contributed money to Phil Mattingly in Maine for the purpose of donating the Johnson papers to the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. Very briefly, Phil had just completed his reorganizing of the paperwork and, on short notice, had to make a quick trip to Pennsylvania. He wanted to simply drop his material at the museum on the way down as he was not expecting to be able to make long trips again for several months.My daughter and I quicly arranged to meet Phil at the museum with some supplementary paperwork this past Thursday. We had a short visit and picnic lunch with the curator, Alex MacKenzie, who was delighted with the donations, after which we all had to leave. The Curator and staff will need quite a bit of time to review everything and may need my help in clarifying the history of the material, despite the fact that I was a young child during WWII.More importantly, for all of us, the Museum is slowly recovering from the Covid and the recent reconstruction projects. We discussed the appropriate time for a "formal" presentation after they organize the material, and the possibility of author Bruce Canfield coming back for another speaker program, which would be appropriate for many of us to attend, if possible, at the same time.So....story to be continued....when we all have more time. Ed Johnson

IMO the year of modification has nothing to do with Curio Relic status. "In original configuration is the key, its the complete rifle, not just the receiver. No different than many years back guys used to buy Springfield 1903 rifles very cheap and sporterize them into hunting rifles. They are no longer Curio Relic eligible ,just my 2 cents
