I just got my hands on my first pre 64 model 94. I have later versions but I just had to have a pre 64 also. It is a 1957 in at least 98% condition, but the receiver has been engraved. One side says from Mars-17 metal div. 3-24-57 and the other side has To. MSGT and his name. Looks to have been a gift for making MSGT rank. How bad is the value hurt by it being engraved? Looks like it was his pride and joy and only shot once in 60 years, and that is no joke!
