The bolt carrier is fitted with a reinforcing web, hollow cocking handle, and lacks provision for a bolt catch. Right side mounting rail, unthreaded muzzle, "gcb" code "K43" marked magazine, and cupped trapdoor buttplate. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip laminated stock with "eagle and swastika/359" stamp on the left of the buttstock and another Waffenamt on the underside. Matching serial number marked on the receiver, bolt carrier and scope base. The left of the scope body is marked "Gw ZF4/17667/ddx." ahead of a triangle. Includes a period brown leather sling, green painted "jvb" marked metal scope case with shoulder strap, leather/cork scope lens caps, small parts, and the butt trap contains a period K43 sniper manual and a black plastic oiler containing an extra firing pin, extractor, and striker.

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus original combination late war blue/phosphate finish with areas of differing color throughout. Magazine exhibits smooth gray and brown patina with faint traces of original black painted finish, and refinished blue finish visible on the floorplate. Stock is excellent with defined edges, a few light handling marks, and crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. Included scope is fine, showing strong traces of original wartime blue finish mixed with smooth brown patina on the tube and slightly hazy but viewable optics, and the mount is excellent with 95% original phosphate finish and 90% original blue finish on the release lever and some light freckling. Mild oxidization present on the case, with some bending of the lid. One will look a long time to find another example with a matching numbered scope mount!
