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 WW II up through the modern day. Hooded blade front and tangent rear sights, with the model and manufacturer markings on the left side of the finely machined receiver, machined dust cover and bolt carrier, solid cocking knob, and a left side mounted bolt catch. Fitted with a matching number smooth pistol grip stock, and a contrasting resin handguard, matching number on the underside, and a cupped steel buttplate. All other numbers match.

Very fine, with 80% plus of the original blue finish, showing some areas of mixed gray and brown patina, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The stock is also very fine, with crisp markings and some scuffs and dents. Mechanically excellent.
