Blade and tangent sights, with "crown/ letter" proofs on the left side of the receiver ring, and "STANDARD-MODELL " on the sidewall. "S/42" code "ghost receiver" with the Mauser banner, over a faintly visible "1937".

Smooth straight grip stock with an unidentified stamp behind the rear sling swivel, brown leather sling and a flat buttplate.
