Description:

Manufactured by Walther on a rough forged receiver marked "K 43" and "ac/45" on the left (partly concealed by the wood line). Hooded blade front sight and military tangent rear sight graduated from 1-12. Both the receiver and bolt carrier are forged and machined, with the manual catch on the right side of the carrier and hollow cocking knob. Smooth pistol grip laminated stock with a cupped trapdoor buttplate. Matching serial number marked on the receiver, bolt carrier and bolt. Waffenamt stamps visible on various components including the magazine and stock. "aye" code "K43" marked magazine. Right side mounting rail fitted with a ZF4 scope. The left of the scope body is marked "Gw ZF4/16478/ddx." next to a blue filled triangle. The scope mount base is numbered "2044" with additional post-war rework number "47892" along with an "eagle/359" proof. Includes scope lens covers.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 90% original dark phosphate/blue finish, with flaking on the front sight base and action, a brown patina and light spotting on the barrel. The stock is very fine with some scattered minor scratches, dents and dings; a discreet re-glued crack on top of the handguard, and defined stampings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is fine with some thinning of the finish and hazy but viewable optics.
