That Sauer looks great Dave.
Very nice!
Forgive my ignorance on German sniper stuff (have US WW2 sniper stuff), but was it customary to have snipers leave the factory without stock finishes? This seems counter intuitive. Has this stock been cleaned? I know it was somewhat common in the '80/'90's to "bleach" the wood to get a more "at factory look." I also noticed the "eagle H" looks fainter than I'd expect, but might be my perception. I noticed the metal condition is fantastic so doubt the rifle saw much use..fantastic piece.

I know, I need a set of leather scope lens covers for my Kohler scope.
We did used to have a guy in the UK that made lots of very nice milsurp repro leather items such as scope lens covers for 4(T) and others, but he seems to have stopped trading, after a few people on other forums sent money for items they never received.
Most of the leatherworkers in the UK now are just saddlery types doing horse stuff, and are usually women who refuse to make anything to do with shooting.
I know a small amount of the collector to collector history , nothing more . I bought it from a Forum Member who's an avid G/K43 collector and he got it from a collector in California .
The Lens Covers are Original .
