Recent pickup and certainly one of the more difficult makers to track down, a g block DUV 42. When I was looking for others to compare it too there aren’t many posted, oddly I found more posted examples of the DUV finished BCD 41 rifles than DUV 42 rifles when I was researching old threads. All matching except the handguard and the band spring. The handguard is a c e/18 marked armorer spare that has wear marks around the rear band matching to the stock so they’ve been together a long time and I think likely a wartime replacement rather than a later “fix”. The band spring is a late war stamped version. Otherwise all matching. Barrel code is bys with the Lubeck gate stamp, markings on the keel of the stock are faint but serial number, letter block, P and the e/214 stamp at the wrist.
