Hooded blade front and tangent rear sights, with "bcd/4" on top of the receiver ring, "Mod .98" on the left sidewall, and "eagle/swastika" proofs on several parts. Matching numbers are present on the bolt, rear sight, and barrel bands. Smooth, laminated stock, with a cupped buttplate and a brown leather sling.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, mild spotting, and scattered handling marks. The stock is fine, with chipping around the barrel bands (heavy underneath forward band), cracking/opening of the grain at the buttplate, and scattered stains and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
