Description:

The receiver ring bears the marking "bnz/ Sig rune/ 4", which is associated with rifles reworked using labor from the Steyr-Munichholz concentration camp. Part of the Mauthausen-Gusen complex, Steyr-Munichholz housed skilled prisoners who were put to work in the Steyr factory and surrounding areas. Hooded blade and tangent sights, with eagle "6" and "43" proofs next to a script "S" on the right side of the ring. Milled barrel bands, with stamped "byf" (Mauser) trigger guard and floor plate. Matching numbers on the bolt handle and floor plate. Smooth stock, with a "prg" stamped cupped buttplate. With a "44fnj" (Coppel, Solingen) bayonet, 10 inch blade, ribbed grip, matching numbered sheath and russet leather frog.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as Arsenal refurbished, with 98% of the dull blue finish, showing minor handling marks. Stock is very fine, with pressure dents. A rough brown patina is visible on the sheath, with the bayonet excellent. Mechanically excellent.
