1945 German K-43

[Bill Grist]

I have been asked by forum members to post a late war K43 for comparison with the early G-43 that I posted in a earlier thread..Along with the weapon are some accessories to include the elusive Last Pattern Manual D1865/1 dated December 1, 1944, in large format. This is the only copy of the manual "OUT OF CAPATIVITY" that I know of. There is a photocopy, located in the National Archives.. This K43 is Walther (ac) coded, and dated 45.. with DUAL BOLT GUIDES and a mixture of Blue and phosphate finish.. The scope mount is one number off from the rifle and came home that way with a 30th. Inf. Division Vet from Hickory, N.C. Enjoy BILL
