No gold or other lines. It's a plain rifle.

Daryl S. What you say makes sense now that I think on it. Mine is then backwards regarding the "scallops."

The "alignment mark" I mentioned is an index mark on the movable leaf for windage and a similar one on the stationary dovetail base. Thing is, if the "scalloped" side is facing the front sight, then the index marks can not line up, as they would then be 180 degrees out of possible alignment.

Not that that matters much, as I would like sight orientation to be correct. Windage may have to be adjusted anyways.

Thanks for the information
