This example is fitted with a ZF4 sniper scope with a late very rough/pitted cast mount with a single "eagle/214" proof on the front end, with a gray pressure lever. The scope is marked "K43/80465/ddx" and is complete with a reproduction sheet metal rain shield and rubber eyepiece with a set of lens caps ( leather and wooden plug). The rifle has one magazine that is marked "avx, Waffenamt, K43" on the side. The rifle is complete with a field manual, oiler spare firing pin and pin extension, extractor, cleaning rod, sheet metal front sight hood, and unmarked leather sling.

The stock and handguard are both excellent with visible proofs, there is a darker color on the handguard with several heavier gouges on the underside of the buttstock.
