Would like to pick your knowledge a bit more. Would love to hear more from your research. But that is just what I've read and I am not taking it for gospel. I've read that they were not marked coming from the factory but only when it went back for repairs. it has gotten to the point here in the US that most of the Nazi weapons I see for sale are humped in one way or another. German weapons of any kind are being regularly forged so one must be especially careful when purchasing one whether it be a 98K, Sniper of any kind, Luger, G41/43 or any other Nazi marked weapon. It's a must have publication for any owner or person wanting a G/K43. I refer you to the Collector Grade publication "Hitler's Garand" to verify what I have posted. Not saying it's incorrect I just don't remember seeing that type. By the way I haven't seen that type of sight cover i'll have to look at my reference books. If that is not bad enough there are some very good repro mounts that can fool a person who is not intimately familiar with the G/K43. The correct German serial numbers stampings look like they are electro penciled but are not careful examination next to a correctly serialized mount ail expose the forgery. Forgers have electro penciled the serial number on the mounts to sell them as 100% matching. Some mounts were never issued and had no serial numbers. However G/K43's in that condition are VERY RARE. G/K43 snipers if they are 100% correct would have the scope mount maker waffen amt the same as the rifle makers and rifle serial number on the scope would be the same as the rifles and were issued that way when accepted into service. I've read that stocks marked with the "R" could be Free French capture but I am not sure. It could be a "1" and "t" or a "t" and a "V". The second is two symbols on the handguard. The stock has two very interesting marks. Stock marked with "R" (purported to be Free French capture). Scope mount #1889 ( Been told they are usually not matched to gun unless sent back to arsenal). Gw Zf4 Scope Serial # 41489 ddx (Walther) with blue triangle (for cold climate). All matching including stock BLM /Berlin Luebecker rifles.) Red laminate stock. Maker DUV (Berlin Luebecker with correct WaA214 inspection proofs).
Here is my WWII Gewehr 43 (G43) Sniper rifle.
