That is a pretty K. Mine is scoped too. How ever you want to look at it. Mine was scoped when new, in 1928 with a 1928 Noske scope, and a side mount, that covers most of the engraving. But, I like it, and I only paid about 1/10 of what an unmolested one would cost. The way the scope is cantilevered over the barrel, it's just high enough that you can use the tang sight if the scope fogs or fails.
