The bottom of the barrel has the correct four digit serial number along with the letter suffix and the bore diameter of 8,83 and the right rear is marked with the Imperial Eagle. Most of the small components have the partial serial number "05" marked on them. The front of the frame is marked with the serial number and it is correctly marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" on the safety and extractor respectively. The tangent rear sight is graduated from 100-800 meters. The magazine is a correct nickel plated WWI version with a wooden base plate.
