Marked "byf/43" on the receiver. Fitted with hooded blade front and tangent rear sights, marked "MOD. 98" on the left receiver wall, with matching full and partial numbers. Smooth laminate pistol grip stock with milled barrel bands, black leather "L&F" sling, takedown lug in the buttstock and a bright cupped buttplate.

Very good, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing a spot of rust on the lower right side of the barrel ahead of the lug, scattered spotting, areas of brown and gray patina and light handling marks overall. Stock is very good, with light scratches and pressure dents overall, along with a speckled white residue concentrated on the comb and some roughness to the right side of the wrist. Sling is good, with mild wear. Action is very good.
