Manufactured in 1944 with blade front and tangent rear sights. "K. 43 duv 44" marked on left side of receiver with serial number, and eagle/214 and eagle firing proofs. Forged receiver and bolt carrier, with an eagle/359 proof and the number "74" on the bolt carrier. Smooth straight grip stock and upper hand guard with leather sling and cupped buttplate.

Very good as assembled. The rifle retains 30% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina with some minor spotting on the barrel. The wood is very fine with some minor handling marks, the letter "R" craved on buttstock (right side) and a repaired chip near the stock toe.
