Fitted with a post-war Czechoslovakian ZF4 type sniper scope with an early reproduction scope mount stamped with a small Eagle 214 Waffenamt proof. The scope is marked on the left side "Z1 49/OM262".

Rating Definition:

Fine condition with 85% of the blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear. The stock has been sanded lightly with a light varnish applied, with visible markings. The scope and mount are very fine with 90% of the blued finish overall, with nice clear sharp optics. The various accessories are all excellent. A nice late example of a K43 snipe rifle rig.
