WWII M1 Garand D35382-1-SA Curve Side Op Rod with 3/8" relief cut MWO. Finish looks original and has old dried cosmoline on it in pictures, has that tint of green everyone likes! Finish is 95%+/- with no pitting on tube. Piston looks to be original and specs .5255. Tab is excellent. A VERY nice original early Op Rod!! Dash 1 Curve Side Op Rods were used from approx Mar 1940 thru early Jan 1941 on WWII M1's(ser# range 33,000 thru 170,000). Curve Side oprods have a distinctive curve on the hump forward of the charging handle, hence curve vs flat side. Lot of folks ask so thought I'ld clarify.
