Features a blade front sight, the two-line Winchester address and King's patent marking on top ahead of the notch and ladder rear sight, centerfire modified bolt, sling swivels on the forearm cap and butt, the serial number in block letters behind the trigger, and crescent brass buttplate with compartment (empty).
