Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the date and manufacturer code on the receiver ring, and "Mod. 98" on the side wall. The "byf" floorplate, "qnw" trigger guard and bands are stamped, and the bolt is numbered to match the receiver. Fitted with a smooth laminate stock with a bright cupped steel buttplate.

Very fine, with 75% plus original blue finish, showing scattered areas of brown patina, a small amount of shallow pitting concentrated on the bolt catch and buttplate, and some mild scratches and handling marks. The stock is also very good, with some mild scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
