Description:

Produced by Berlin-Lubecker (qve) on a rough forged receiver, marked "K. 43 qve 45", with a single bolt guide, bolt carrier latch on the right side, hollow cocking knob, right side mounting rail, unthreaded muzzle and an "aye" code magazine. Hooded front sight and military tangent rear sight graduated from 100-1200. The stock is made of laminated wood, with a cupped trapdoor buttplate and a faint serial number which appears to match the receiver. Equipped with a ZF-4 scope, "ddx." code, serial number "27485" (hand-numbered to match rifle) with quick-detach base numbered "9331".

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 85% of the blue finish, showing some bright wear on the high edges and mild handling marks overall. The dust cover is hand-numbered to the rifle, with a "Y" shaped crack at the rear of the bolt carrier channel, and the trigger guard is a bit rough beneath the finish. The lightly sanded stock is very good, with some minor scuffing and dents. The optics are a bit dirty, but otherwise good. Mechanically excellent.
