Description:

Manufactured in 1945 by the Berlin-Lubecker factory and fitted with a late war non-matching ZF4 sniper scope and mount. The receiver is marked "Eagle/ 214/ 8272l/K.43, qve 45" with single bolt guide, bolt carrier latch on the right side, solid cocking knob, scope rail on the right side, and the unthreaded muzzle. Standard sights with rear sight graduated from 100-1,200, a sheet metal front sight cover. Correct laminated stock numbered "1517" with a correct "Eagle/WaA214" proof, cupped sheet metal buttplate with trapdoor and late war red-resin coated laminated handguard. The scope mount has the "Eagle/359" proof with the square ends. Scope is marked "K43/87245/ddx" and is complete with a reproduction sheet metal rain shield and original rubber eyepiece and reproduction type 1 leather lens cap with the wooden plug.

Rating Definition:

Very good as assembled (bolt carrier a Walther proofed replacement) with 60% of the blue finish with wear and thinning overall, with a patina color on the trigger guard area. The revarnished stock and handguard are both very good with a clear stock proof, showing handling marks and darker color. The scope mount is excellent and the scope retains 95% of the blue finish with clear optics. The scope cap has detached from the wooden plug.
