Dou 45 Opinions Please

[CornKing91]

Found this Dou 45 on a whim at an online auction. Never have been into Kreigsmodel rifles much (just don't know much about them)

But the stock condition just pulled me in. It looks really nice.

Just wanted some opinions from other seasoned guys. Cant figure out how to make photos smaller so I attached an imgur link with the rest of the photos.

The rifle appears to be a no letter block. Bolt matches.

Yes...I did end up buying it.

I like it! Early spanner screws. Wood looks crispy. Any closeup pic of the damaged TG?Nice!

White glue stock does look nice. My Dou45 “a”block also exhibits this darker looking bluing. The kriegsmodell band screws are different on mine though… they are vz24 screws (like yours) but the slot on mine is in line with the holes. Don’t have my references on me, so I’m not sure if that just a variation, correct or incorrect.

What I posted is all I had to go off of when I bought it. It just looked too "right" to pass up. Hopefully have it in-hand in a week or so.

I have a feeling you have a keeper… care to share what it went for? Ballpark?

It was not a bad deal
