This is a very late WWII K43 rifle made in the last months of WWII by the Walther factory. It has the late war cast receiver with the dual bolt guides, with the left side of the receiver marked "Eagle 359 Waffenamt/K43/ac 45/4105d". The bolt carrier is also the late war version that has reinforcing web directly behind the front edge, but it is not marked with the reversed 45. The cocking knob of this version is still on the left side with no bolt hold open latch on the right side. The action cover is the late war stamped version with the sliding dust cover. It has the standard front and rear sight with the standard length barrel that is not fitted with a muzzle nut. This rifle still has the scope base on the right rear side of the receiver. It has a very nice reproduction stock and handguard that has been restamped with a single "WaA359" Waffenamt proof on the left side of the buttstock and inside the pistol grip area. It is complete with one original WWII "K43" magazine with a single WaA704 proofmark. This rifle is complete an original field manual and a cleaning cloth still in the original pouch.

Very fine with 95% of the blue finish with edge and high spot wear with thinning on the exposed barrel. The stock and handguard are both very nice examples that have been stained dark brown that shows some minor rough machining marks on the sides. Mechanically fine.
