Description:

The rifle has been fitted with an original WWII German grenade launcher (stamped "G Gr Ger / gct" with an eagle/WaA proof), mounted on the muzzle of the barrel with an original side mounted grenade launcher rear sight assembly (stamped "G Gr Ger / K 98 K" and "ch" with an eagle/WaA140). These sights were issued in large numbers, however they are very scarce today in any condition as most were destroyed after the war. A grenade launcher pouch is also included (stamped "jsc / 1942" with and an eagle/WaA14 proof). The rifle has a hooded inverted "V" front and tangent rear sight. Receiver ring marked "bnz" over a single rune SS Youth lightning bolt over "43" and left side marked with an eagle firing proof and left receiver wall is marked "Mod. 98". Matching numbers on receiver, bolt assembly, and trigger guard. Laminated stock and handguard with cupped buttplate. Grenade launcher pouch comes with a "GGr. Ger." marked adjusting wrench and is hand marked "Hetzer / II Zug" on the inside of flap. Complete with a leather sling and cleaning rod.

Rating Definition:

Arsenal refurbished. The rifle retains95% blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina with some minor spotting (mostly on the barrel and front barrel band). Proofs on the right side of the receiver have been ground off. The wood is very good with a long gouge on the grip area (left side) and a cut out for a now absent oval stock inlay (right side), along with some minor dings and scratches and a few minor gouges. The grenade launcher pouch is very good with some minor flex wear and handling marks with limited loss stitching.
