K43 ac over 44 #514q
Barrel stepped and marked dtk 68 45 'waa 359'.
Interesting as the left receiver has 2x VOPO sunbursts. 1x to the front of the receiver and 1x rearward.
The receiver also has 2x Captured 'X's, both are two different sizes of font and are a Roman Numeral type 'X' versus a standard 'X'. The bolt carrier appears VOPO forced match, the bolt/bolt locking lugs are also. Lots of the non-typical WWII serial numbered parts are electro penciled and the butt plate is blued and stamped to match. The action is very slick and like most VOPO's the overall condition of the rifle is very good to excellent (cherry picked and only re-finished the best of what they had).
Just a flipper for me, but I find the X's interesting (I believe another thread talked about this different style of X, but I can't find the thread).
With a '45' barrel, I assume the rifle was assembled in 1945. Also interesting as most rifles in the 'q' block on Claus's serial number study are panel cut rifles.
