This is an exceptional original example of a G41 rifle that was manufactured by the Berlin-Lubecker company in 1943. These rifles were manufactured early on in the production cycle of the G41/G43 series of semi-automatic rifles before all production switched to the G43 series of rifles. The left side of the receiver is marked with the large "G41 duv 43, eagle/214" followed by the serial number 9291f. The stock is the correct wartime laminated model that is stamped on the right side with a faint double "eagle 214" Waffenamt proof and a faint "eagle 214" Waffenamt proof in the pistol grip area. The rifle is equipped with the brown phenolic resin (plastic) hand guard as manufactured in 1941/42. This rifle was produced for only a couple of years using mostly machined and finely blue parts combined with some stamped sheet metal parts and components, such as the barrel bands, trigger guard and magazine. The German Armaments Ministry switched later to the all rough cast and poorly machined G/K43 rifles that were far more reliable and easier to produce.

Excellent with 90% plus of the original blue finish remains with edge and high spot wear along with finish loss on the exposed front section of the barrel/muzzle cone, action cover and box magazine. The stock is very fine with clear markings, showing some minor age separation of the laminations in some areas and some light pressure dents and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent. A nice early WWII G41 semi-automatic rifle.
