SOLD - Exceptional German K.43 - Scarce Code

Description

1/29/24 - This is the most uncommon variation of the German G43(K43) rifle, made in the final months of the war, around February-March of 1945. It was made at the Berliner Lubecker factory, which was assigned a 'qve' code in 1945 instead of the previous 'bcd' code. With a total of about 60,000 rifles made, this variation is one of the least encountered by the collectors and exhibits the late war rough machining and bluing. This is also the nicest 'qve' example we have offered. The gun is all original and matching, including the receiver, bolt, and the internals. The finish is in excellent condition with only minor hints of high edge wear. Fantastic stock with no defects, and a waffenamt on the wrist and right face. The bore is nice with strong rifling with a little freckling in the grooves. The magazine has been refinished. Original sling, cleaning rod and sight hood included.
