The left side of the barrel and receiver at the breech are marked with the matching serial number. The upper left side of the receiver is marked "HAERENS TOJHUS. 1915 / M. 89". The top of the barrel is marked with a "C" followed by a block "C / crown/38 / crown". The barrel is equipped with a dovetailed globe front sight, there are no provisions for a rear sight on the barrel and there is a receiver mounted peep sight marked with the matching partial serial number "321" and a "crown/HR". The rifle is mounted with a one piece pistol grip stock (forearm shortened as mentioned above) with a beveled serrated iron buttplate and leather sling. There is a small brass unit disk on the right rear of the stock, marked "4R / 19".

ConditionFine. The barrel retains 60% original finish with thinning to a smooth brown on the forward portion. The magazine has strong original blue finish mixed with smooth mottled brown patina. The receiver retains 85% original finish with some smooth gray/brown patina and some scratches. The trigger guard has a smooth mottled gray patina. The stock is also fine with scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The sling is fair with a number of minor age cracks and is beginning to turn brittle. The markings are crisp and clear.
