Hooded blade front and tangent rear sights, with a rough cast and machined receiver marked "K43" and "ac/45" on the left side. The bolt carrier is fitted with a reinforcing web, hollow cocking handle and lacks provision for a bolt catch. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip stock with a cupped trapdoor buttplate. Included with the rifle is an "11.5.44" dated manual for the K43, which also includes information on the ZF-4 scope.

Fine, with 85% plus of the original combination finish, some light scratches and handling marks are visible overall, with a mixed patina on the bolt carrier and receiver, bright edge wear, and a small amount of scattered spotting. The recoil bolt is absent from the stock, which is otherwise fine, with some mild dents and handling marks. The manual is fair, with some curling, wear and detached pages. Mechanically fine.
