Description:

This is an excellent example of a Late WWII Nazi K43 semi-automatic sniper rifle as manufactured by the Walther factory that has the correct WWII ZF4 sniper scope and Walther proofed original mount. This rifle has the late war rough cast receiver with rough cast bolt cover, with the reinforcing web on the front end and the hollow cocking knob on the left side. It also has the late war stamped sheet metal action cover. The rifle is a very late production rifle with the left side of the receiver marked "K43" and "ac/45" next to the "b" suffix serial number as well as the "Eagle/359" Waffenamt proof. The scope is marked "Gw ZF 4/71512/ddx/triangle". It has an original mount numbered "2909" towards the front end and has the correctly "fest" and "lose" marked locking lever. The stock and handguard are the correct late war laminated versions with stamped trigger guard with a partial "Eagle/359" stamped on the left side of the buttstock with a smaller same proof inside the pistol grip area. It is complete with an original brown leather sling, rubber muzzle cover, cleaning rod and sheet metal front sight cover.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with 95% of the original phosphate/blue finish with edges and high spot wear overall. The stock and handguard are both in very good condition with a nice matching color, that has handling marks and light scratches overall from actual use. The scope also retains 95% of it's original blue finish and the optics are clear but a little hazy. A nice example of a late WWII Nazi K43 sniper rig.
