Manufactured by Walther (ac) on a rough forged receiver marked "K43 ac/45" on the left (the "45" is beneath the stock line). Hooded blade front sight and military tangent rear sight graduated from 100-1200. The bolt carrier has a hollow cocking handle and lacks provision for a bolt catch. Right side mounting rail, unthreaded muzzle, "eagle/359" proofed components, and cupped trapdoor buttplate. Fitted with a smooth pistol grip laminated stock with "eagle/WaA359" stamp on the pistol grip, and "eagle/359" stamps on the left and bottom of the buttstock. Matching serial number marked on the receiver, bolt carrier and bolt. The magazine is marked "aye", "WaA843" (Olympia Office Machine Works, Erfurt) and "K43" on the side. The left of the reproduction scope body is marked "Gw ZF4/41976/ddx." ahead of a triangle, and the scope mount has an "eagle/214" stamped on it. Includes a leather sling, reproduction scope lens covers, and an extra firing pin and extra extractor inside the butt compartment.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus, nearly as issued, retains 98% plus original blue and phosphate finishes overall. The magazine retains 90% original black painted finish. The stock is also excellent, with a few mild dents. Mechanically excellent. The included reproduction scope is very fine with crisp clear optics.
