G98/40 hoods are pretty round, even more so than the sacred thick metal hood of the bnz 45 Kriegsmodell. I'm posting some example pix. As always with anything desirable which you may have in your parts box and may not currently need, you should contact me immediately so that I can send you a postal money order for a retail type amount for your item.
The first picture is typical. The second one may be a repro. I know they make them but have never purchased one or seen one that I knew to be a repro but in this case the hood is nearly new and doesn't match the finish on the rifle. The last one is also a puzzler in that it is smaller than the typical G98/40 hood. May just be a normal variant--I believe the rifle wearing it is a jhv 44.
