Manufactured early in 1943 before the introduction of the G43 rifle, the G41 was one of the only production model semi-automatic rifles to use the "gas trap" system, as opposed to the gas port used on the G43 which has become the de-facto standard for gas-operated weaponry from World War II up through the modern day. Blade front and tangent rear sights, with the model and manufacturer markings on the left side of the finely machined receiver, with a sheet metal dust cover and a machined bolt carrier with a solid cocking knob, and a left side mounted bolt catch. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock, with a contrasting resin handguard, matching number on the underside, and a cupped steel buttplate.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, along with some bright edge wear and handling marks overall. Matching numbers are visible on a number of external components. The stock is also fine, with some mended chips behind the front barrel band, scuffs, and dents. The gas cone retention spring is absent, otherwise mechanically excellent.
