BCD 43 K98k rifle with numerous eagle stamps and inspection stamps on the receiver, barrel, and small parts. This rifle is in battlefield pickup condition and is non-import marked. It mechanically functions, though the action is packed with cosmoline. The bore is dark but retains visible rifling.
The BCD 43 code indicates Gustloff Werke production in 1943, a wartime K98k manufacturer with strong collector interest. This example is not a polished refurbished rifle; it presents with honest battlefield pickup character, visible wartime inspection markings, and non-import-marked status. The cosmoline-packed action and dark bore should be clearly understood as part of its current surplus condition. For collectors who value untouched appearance, wartime markings, and non-import-marked German K98k rifles, this BCD 43 offers a gritty and historically interesting example.
