Data Request - Mauser Low and High Turret Platforms, ZF41

byf 44 High Turret 606L
U on tang
U on front base
WaA135 on rear base - no asterisk

This a rescued rifle the deceased veteran was using as his deer rifle. Bolt and scope ring matches rifle; milled safety, cad scope. With the help of a relative of the veteran, we found the front band, band spring, and an uncheckered butt plate in a junk box in the vet's workshop. The original stock had been totally butchered, but I was able to find an unnumbered L block stock, so it looks correct.

Now that is one worth restoring!! Great rifle
 
JP Sauer HT

Do you anticipate needing information on JP Sauer HT's at a later date? If so I can provide info on the one I have.
 
Sauer LT/HT

If you guys have data on Sauer LT/HT go ahead and post it and I am sure Mike will check it out.

I am adding a data section to the Mauser sniper section and could use the following:

ZF41: Code year and serial, Presence or absence of E/135 on rear of ZF41 base

Hi Bruce,

For my ZF41 K98's:

ar42 1331a (E/135 - absent, and no other markings)

ar43 9564 (E/135 - absent, and no other markings)
 
Hello Luft1,


Do you have pics of your DUV41 ZF41?? DUV41 never got to w (W) block in 1941 highest was p (P) block. this would also be a Type 1 roller version.
