This is a very interesting G.33/40. The long-time collector that I purchased this one from had two and
they were identical.
It is an early 1941 with the 945 maker's code. Not many were made in 1941
until they changed the code to dot. It has a beautiful walnut stock.
The rifle must have been
made up as a sample or display piece. The final inspection waffenamts were never applied to the receiver
or the stock. Only initial inspection stamps appear. Also, the butt plate, kick plate and stock takedown
disc that are normally in the white have been blued.
The waffenamt on the bolt head has been
etched. How they did one so small is amazing.
