This is a nice example of a WWII Nazi K98 rifle with the ZF41 rifle scope with a sun shields. Providing approximately 1.5 power magnification for the more advanced shooters in the Wehrmacht, the forward location allows a greater field of view while sighting in. Hooded blade front sight and tangent rear sight graduated to 2,000 meters, with the "ddv" (Oculus, Berlin) coded scope and "duv" (Berlin-Lubecker) coded mount, numbered "6044". The scope is marked "3947/ddv/Z.F. 41". The rings are numbered "155" and electro penciled "44" on the tops. The top of the front receiver ring is marked "eagle proof/bfy/44" with two proofs on the right side and the Nazi firing proof and serial number on the left side. The left side receiver wall is marked "Mod. 98". The left rear of the barrel is marked with the Nazi firing proof and the top at the breech is marked with a faint shield followed by "44 D 9". Blue barrel and receiver, and phosphate finish on the remaining parts. The trigger guard, floor plate and barrel bands are stamped. The floor plate is marked "byf" and with an "eagle/135" proof. The rifle is mounted with the correct unmarked laminated pistol grip stock and handguard with a cupped buttplate. Complete with a brown leather sling.

Very fine. The barrel and receiver retains 90% arsenal blue finish, thinning on the barrel. The remaining parts retain 98% thin original phosphate finish. The stock is excellent with a few minor dings and handling marks. The scope retain 95% original finish with some thinning and the optics are opaque. The sling is very good. Most markings are highlighted in white and all remain crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
