Description:

Blade front and tangent rear sights, with a buckling leather protective cover marked "jhz/1942" on the latter. The receiver ring is marked "byf/44" and "eagle/135", with a milled floor plate and a stamped trigger guard fitted with a "Mod 98" marked winter trigger assembly. Smooth unnumbered hardwood pistol grip stock with a set of "WaA135" proofs, a brown leather sling, and a cupped buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 50% plus of the original blue finish, showing areas of gray and brown patina, bright edge and high point wear, and scattered spotting and handling marks overall. The re-oiled stock is very good, with scattered light scratches and dings, a few deeper cuts on the underside of the buttstock, and a small spot of green paint on the handguard. The sling is good, with some cracking of the sight protector. Mechanically excellent.
