It is a Remington R-14. Here is the seller's pic, sort of out of focus.

The seller claims it is new without box & unsharpened.
I should find out in a day or two. :mrgreen:

It looks factory fresh. Good find. How many 72s and clones do you have now? Must be a nice little pile the way you've been going.

Yep, just one 72. I do have the swell center whittler that you sent me, but it's not really a 72.
