EXCEPTIONAL PURPOSE MADE FG42 SCOPE AND VERY EXCEPTIONALLY RARE PRESSED STEEL DOVETAIL MOUNT.

SN 48577. Once in a lifetime opportunity to obtain an example of a rarely found purpose made FG42 scope and pressed dovetail grooved mount (also incorrectly known as a “swallow tail” mount due to mis-translation from the German “Schwalbenschwanz”). The positioning of the clamp screws and small dovetail claws allow this pattern mount only to clamp correctly to the dovetail section receiver rail of the rare “gcy” (L.O.Dietrich/Altenburg) manufactured second pattern FG42, of which only 2 – 300 were made, the cut-outs in the rail of the Krieghoff made guns preventing engagement of the front clamp claws of this pattern mount. This exact set is illustrated on page 243 of Darrein Weaver’s 2001, Hitlers Garands. Scope itself is in very good condition. Marked with the normal “Gw ZF4 48577 ddx”, an additional blue filled triangle and an additional engraved “L”. It is also marked in large engraved letters “FG42 Nr.0232”, which is the SN of the gcy code weapon it was originally mated to. The heavy stamped sheet metal mount itself is also in very good condition, is complete and mechanically sound. The stamped metal retaining bands, spacers and screws are also complete & secure. The set comes with its orig rubber eye piece, stamped sheet metal rain shield & wood, leather, and Presstoff cover. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Very good to excellent overall. Scope retains 95% of orig bluing with wear on the high edges. Some near microscopic scattered pitting in various locations. Optics are clear. Everything functions as it should. Accessories are in excellent condition with tiny dent on rain shield and wooden dowel of cover is missing one small screw. The mount appears contemporary to the scope and is in very good to excellent condition again with tiny scattered pits & blemishes that do not detract. 4-53364 DW36 (14,000-20,000) – Lot 3192
