Blade front and tangent rear sights, with "dsh 7 40 Pi" marked near the breech of the barrel, along with 2 "WaA655" (Mauser) stamps on the right side near the rear sight, and "Eagle/214" (Berlin-Lubecker) three times on the right side of the receiver ring, along with the "237/1939" makers mark and "Mod.98" in block letters on the sidewall. Milled bands and trigger guard, with the front band stamped "WaA63". Rare "Elm" stock, with "Eagle/280" on the underside, a faint eagle proof on the right side behind the washer, and a cupped buttplate. Fitted with a brown leather sling and a 1939 dated Horster bayonet, 9 7/8 inch blade numbered 9319, with matching sheath.

Very good as Arsenal refurbished rebuilt, with 90% of the blue finish, showing light handling marks, a few areas of brown spotting, and a small amount of pitting. Stock is very good, with some chipping and scuffs from the sling hardware on the left side next to the receiver, a few cracks at the butt, and scattered scuffs and scratches. Sling shows mild cracking, and the bayonet is very good. Mechanically excellent.
