These rifles represent German Army's final attempt to field a successful semi-automatic rifle during WWII. This is an example of a mid WWII production rifle manufactured by the Berlin-Lubecker manufacturing company that carries the wartime code of "duv". The left side of the rough forged receiver is marked with the "serial number, 7432a/G43/duv44" markings. It has the type two rough cast bolt carrier with the bolt latch on the right side and the cocking knob on the left, with the reinforcing web on top, with the stamped sliding dust cover. It is fitted with the correct laminated style wood stock and handguard, which lacks any proofmarks on the sides of the buttstock that have the old initials "AJ" lightly marked in the wood below the slit slot, while it still retains the small Eagle/WaA214 proof in the pistol grip area. This model still retains the scope mounting rail on the right side and it is fitted with an early reproduction G43 scope mount with a small Eagle 214 Waffenamt proof towards the front end with two serial numbers ("5141g" and "7432a") milled in the front and rear of the mount. The locking lever has the correct "fest" and "lose" markings on the lever. The scope is a WWII German ZF4 model that is marked on the side "Gw ZF4/ddx/ 50419", with the rare "L" property mark directly behind that, which denotes that it was original issue by the Luftwaffe for the FG42 MG. It is complete with one black painted "gcb" marked K43 magazine, the cleaning rod, front sight cover and the reproduction rubber eye cup on the end of the scope and the first pattern scope covers (wooden plug and leather front cover).

Arsenal refurbished with most of the original wartime blued finish remaining on most of the metal surfaces with the bolt and action cover has a dipped blue finish with the exposed section of the barrel showing some thinning and spotting of the blue finish. The stock has been lightly sanded on the sides and now has an old stained and re-oiled type of finish. The laminated hand guard has an old crack on the top/left front end of the handguard. The scope retains 95% of its wartime blue finish with some light wear and spotting with clear sharp markings, and the mount showing a re-phosphated finish over pitting. The lens caps are in very good condition.
