This is a Berlin-Lubecker (duv code) G.41. The serial number is 1774h, right at the end of production.
I feel this is an experimental rifle that was an attempt to satisfy the need for a rifle with a high
capacity magazine for fortress protection by static troops. The gun is mostly matching with some unnumbered parts and the trigger guard group is numbered 1704. The magazine is a MG13 magazine dated K (1934) and waffenamt stamped with period numbers. It is not removeable. It is also stamped S/42 which makes it a Mauser replacement magazine. So that ties in with the possibility of this being a late parts assembled rifle. You can see in the pictures of the magazine how the feed area of the frame was slightly modified apparently to improve feeding characteristics. |
