Description:
Very rare former German Nazi Army serial #3577g, 8mm, 22" barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this duv 44-coded rifle retain about 94% original blue showing some light operational wear, mild thinning and scattered light freckling along the triggerguard. All markings remain intact and strong with proper "(Eagle) / 214" Waffenamts, the stamped housing shows an off-struck Waffenamt and is electro-penciled matching and the recoil lug shows a "(Eagle) / 251" Waffenamt with sub-contractor code. The smooth laminated hardwood buttstock and Durofol handguard remain in very fine to perhaps near excellent condition showing the expected scattered handling marks and a few tiny abrasions. The stock markings remain intact and strong with stamped matching serial number along the toe line and nice Waffenamts throughout. All of the bolt parts are matching the receiver, the cleaning rod, dust cover and front sight hood are intact and the action functions well mechanically. One aye-coded magazine retaining about 96% arsenal black enamel finish is included. Equipped with a telescopic sight mounting rail. A lovely Berlin Lubecker for the martial collector.
This Gewehr 43 was made by Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik in Lübeck (weapons coded "duv", and later "qve"). "Production of DUV44 K43's would amount to less than 20,000 units. BLM changed the three letter code from DUV to QVE, and continued production up until the final days of the war, when most finished rifles and parts at this time were shipped to another company owned plant in Czechoslovakia via train. All in all, approximately 462,000 rifles were completed by all three G43/K43 manufacturers by the end of hostilities". Source: gewehr43
Berlin Lubecker Machinenfabrik produced their significantly fewer than Walther G43's beginning some time in early 1944, when BLM ceased G41(W) production. BLM used only forged receivers, and had a unique time saving barrel forging machine, interestingly, throughout production. Also unique to BLM were the phenolic resin (also incorrectly called bakelite) Durofol handguards, and the stocks have a rounded and tapered area where the Walther stocks have the flat.
