for clarification on my part, the sling barrel band is on backwards, U should be on other side. The plum color is an aftermarket finish of some type, the bolts were always left in the white I believe. The bayonet turn down I referred to is at the muzzle of the barrel and if original somewhat rare and a possible feature of what is know as a "Schools Rifle". Others on this site will surely give you more info than me. as far as being "taken" that would certainly depend on what you paid.
