World War II Walther G43 "ac 44" Code Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle with ZF4 Scope

Hooded blade front and tangent rear sights, with a rough-cast receiver and bolt carrier, and matching numbers on the receiver, bolt carrier, bolt, firing pin assembly (electro-penciled), and buttstock. Smooth pistol grip stock, with a laminate handguard, brown leather sling, and a trapdoor buttplate. Included with the rifle is a "ddx" marked ZF4 scope with phosphate finished mount.

ConditionVery fine, with 85% of the original blue finish, showing a slight plum tone to the barrel, an area of brown patina on the barrel band, edge wear, and scattered handling marks. There is a casting flaw visible in the scope rail, of factory origin, which does not appear to impact scope fit. The stock is fine, with a crack in the left side of the wrist and another near the toe of the stock, and some mild scuffing and dents. The scope mount assembly is excellent with most of the original phosphate, the scope body retains 85% of the original blue finish, shows mild wear and surface oxidation, with the optics clear and the reticle solid. Mechanically excellent.
