SOLD - Nazi K43 Rifle - Rare Maker

Description

7/10/20 - 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. The gun is all original and matching, including the receiver, bolt and the buttstock. The stock has waffenamts on the wrist and right side, and serial is fairly clear on the underside. The blue doesn't show much wear, mainly on front sight and trigger group, but the finish and machining are rough throughout. There is a crack along the bottom of the butt stock. Terrific bore. Magazine is 'K43' marked and 'aye' maker marked. Original sight hood but postwar sling present.
