Description:

This is a late 1944 production G43 sniper rifle as manufactured by the Berliner Lubecker Machinenfabrik factory. The right side of the receiver is marked "G43/duv44/Eagle 214 proof and firing proof" followed by the serial number. The bolt carrier has the solid cocking knob with the hold open latch on the right side. It is fitted with the stamped action cover with the sliding dust cover. It is fitted with the laminated stock and handguard, with a very faint "eagle" acceptance proof on the left side with a small eagle proof in the pistol grip area. The stock does not show any visible serial number. It is fitted with a early round end reproduction scope mount that is machined along the lower flat area which is stamped with a Eagle/214 proof. The scope is a mid-war production version marked "GW ZF 4/50906/L(Luftwaffe issue)/ddx" followed by a blue triangle code for cold weather use. The scope comes with a reproduction rain shield on the end. The rifle comes with a steel cleaning rod, crosshatched brown leather sling and front sight cover.

Rating Definition:

Fine with 70% of the blued finish still remaining with wear on the edges and high spots with even honest blue loss on all the exposed metal surfaces from field use and handling over the years. The refinished stock and handguard are both in fine condition with a slightly darker color overall with visible stock proofs, with 2-3 age/separation cracks in the laminates; one on the top right side behind the receiver, one on the underside on the same side and one in front of the trigger guard. The scope retains 50% of a gray/brown patina overall with clear optics.
