SOLD EXCEPTIONAL GERMAN WW2 DUV41 CODED G.41 SEMI-AUTO RIFLE…..ALL MATCHING AND STUNNING

This is probably the finest example we have observed of a duv coded 1943 Berlin Lubecker manufactued  G.41 Semi-automatic Service Rifle.  This is the Sniper version with the scope rail on the rear sight.    The rifle is in exceptional all matching condition with a mint bore and extremely sharp cartouches.  It is a textbook example.  The blue is exceptionally well preserved and this rifle appears to have not seen any combat.  The G.41 (W) was the first successful German Semi-auto Military rifle but it was not a total one.  The rifle is very heavy and somewhat unbalanced and overly complicated.  Never the less they were used effectively and formed the basis for the hugely successful G/K.43 series of Rifles. finding an example this nice and more importantly all matching is not an easy thing to do.  This top example was in the personal collection of the Late dealer and collector Hugh Brock.
