Manufactured in 1943, prior to the introduction of the G.43 rifle. The G.41 was one of the only production model semi-automatic rifles to use the "gas trap" pattern of gas operating system, as opposed to the gas port used on the G.43, which has largely become the de-facto standard for automatic-action shoulder fired small arms from World War II up to the modern day. Features a hooded blade front sight and adjustable tangent rear sight (graduated from 100 to 1,200 meters), "G.41" marked, "duv 43" coded, and "eagle/214" proofed receiver, and "eagle/214" proofs on smaller components. Matching visible serial numbers on the bolt carrier, dust cover, gas chamber, and gas nozzle, with mixed non-matching numbers on the trigger housing and magazine. Fitted with a replacement polymer handguard and a laminate birch stock with part of a matching "940/b" serial number on the underside of the butt.

Very good as assembled (see above), retaining 50% plus original blue finish on the barreled action with scattered light edge wear, thinning on the balance with a mix of grey and brown patinas, some scattered minor visible patches of spotting/freckling, and scattered minor handling marks. The stock is also very good as sanded and re-oiled with numerous light compression marks, dark staining, and a duffel bag cut under the lower band. Mechanically excellent.
