MP44 in Spiper Configuration

[bobofthedesert]

$17K is pretty much market price for a transferable MP44 anyway, so if you bought it for that it'd be hard to go wrong.

But as for it being what the implication is, notice the "wiggle words"..........

"from what I can tell" and "is coming out of an estate so I have no idea of the history"

translation: "I want to say it is this, but you can't hold me responsible if it's not"

BUY THE GUN, NOT THE STORY.

I just finished the book. Allerberger mentions the Mp43/44 as a "sniper weapon" and details it pretty well. He also talks about the g43 and that he also used it one at least once during a very active situation.

I have an original foto of a Heer Soldat with an mp43/44 with a zf4 mounted on it. I also have a war time fot of a Brit capture mp43/44 with a Zielgerat 1229 mounted on it. Now that is awesome looking!!

Note that on the trial picture you've shown is a different ZF4 base. It has three brackets, instead of two in the well known version.

The other thing is that after long lasting 'investigation' I wasn't able to trace even a single piece of a ZG1229. Everybody (including all the biggest museums) claims that they have never seen one... Strange

I can verify what Jacek says above. I came up empty handed as well. It's as if the earth swallowed up any surviving ZG1229 and their battery packs.

I'm pretty sure they are out there somewhere. Someone has to have them in collection but they don't want to be known, I guess.

Well, this stuff would have been cutting edge secret technology at the time, so I'm thinking either the U.S. or Russian governments would have had people scouring the Reich for it....and probably found it.....the one captured by the Brits that is mentioned doubtless went to a research facility rather than a museum.....combat loss or deliberate destruction/disposal to prevent capture are
other possibilities, no?

It Sold.....

I took a look at the listing,

and it sold for $17.000.

Some collector is now a Happy Camper! ...Dave/dblmed
