This is a good example of a German G43 rifle as manufactured in 1944 at the Berlin-Lubecker Machine Factory with the wartime code of "duv".

The front sight is a hooded raised ramp and the rear sight is adjustable to 1200 meters. The pistol grip stock and handguard are the correct wartime laminated versions, that is serial numbered on the underside and has two "eagle/ 214 Waffenamt proofs on the right side of the buttstock. It is fitted with a G43 Sniper scope and mount. The left side of the scope is marked "ZF 4 /33140/dow." and a triangle. The scope mount is a correct WWII version marked with an "eagle/359" proof and it is numbered "5428" on the front end. It is complete with a cleaning rod, unmarked WWII cross-hatched leather sling, front sight hood, wartime magazine, reproduction rubber eyepiece with the leather and wooden plug scope caps.

The stock and handguard are both in very fine condition showing some field use with minor pressure dents and dings in a few areas. The scope has 95% of it's original blue finish with clear optics.
