Description:

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 laminated stock, marked with a faint Waffenamt "eagle" on the underside, with a cupped trapdoor buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original phosphate finish. The blued components remain 85% intact with mild edge wear and spotting, with a plum patina forming on the barrel. The phosphate components show a rough mixed gray. A screw is absent from the rear of the trigger guard. The stock is also very fine with some dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent. Additional Information: there is a very small field repair to the very top area of the pistol grip, and there is also a faint Waffenamt proof on the side of the stock.
