Blade front and three-leaf folding ladder rear sights, with the left side of the receiver bearing the "I.G. Mod.71." marking and the right originally stamped "1879", overstamped "1880" and overhaul stamped "82". A number of "crown/Gothic letter" proofs are present on the chamber, along with the Amberg mark and a "crown/L" on the flats. Smooth straight grip stock with a brass trigger guard and a flat buttplate unit marked"B.4.R.5./137." on the heel. With an Alexander Coppel (Solingen) bayonet, 23 inches overall, 18 inch single fuller blade, "133.R.2.27" marked guard, brass hilt, black painted sheath.

Very good, with a mixed gray patina overall, showing polished areas and scattered pitting, particularly in the breech area. One of the trigger guard screws is numbered to a different rifle, otherwise the externally visible numbers are all matching. The stock is good, with dents and scuffs. The bayonet and sheath are both poor, the former sharpened and the latter repainted. Mechanically excellent.
