Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the "42/1940" manufacturer code and date markings on the receiver ring, and a series of "eagle/655" inspection marks on a number of components. Matching serial numbers are present on many parts, including the barrel bands, rear sight components, bolt components, floorplate, trigger guard, stock and buttplate. In addition to the matching number, the stock bears a set of faint Waffenamt stamps on the right side, with the takedown ring stamped "WaA623" and "O.32177"; "O" is often short for "Ost" (East) on German equipment, such as naval hardware intended for use on the Baltic Sea ("Ostsee" in German). Included with the rifle is a "Horster" maker marked bayonet with a blued steel sheath and a black leather frog.

Fine, with 75% of the original blue finish on the barreled action, showing areas of brown patina, mild edge wear and light handling marks. The trigger guard assembly retains 98% professionally restored blue finish. The lightly sanded stock is very good, with some scuffing and chipping along the edges, and shallow pitting and a few dents on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
