Blade front and folding ladder rear sights, with the U.S. marking, model and serial number on the left side of the receiver. Smooth straight wrist stock, with a "JSA/1902" cartouche on the left side, script "44" and "P" on the underside of the wrist and a smooth trapdoor buttplate.

Excellent plus as issued overall, retains 98% plus original blue/dark oil quenched finish with some with some scattered light handling marks and minor scratches near the muzzle with a rub on top of the buttplate. The excellent plus wood shows some scattered storage marks, a few minor pressure dings, and crisp cartouches. Mechanically excellent. It would be difficult to improve upon this example!
