G43 Sniper Scope & Mount Opinion

[AG24]

Hi everyone! i was looking at another G43 sniper but it was gone before I could purchase it. I came across another sniper configuration that’s only missing the lens caps. I was wanting to get ann opinion on the scope to see if it’s the real deal or not. My biggest question mark was the 4 numbers beneath GW ZF 4. I mainly have seen other scopes with 5 so just wanted to point that out. Also am going to try and get another picture of the Mount as it’s not as clear from the pictures

Scope appears to be legit and the 4x digit serial would indicate early production.

Other things I don't like about this piece, but I will let others chime in to confirm some suspicions.

Scope is real. Mount is fake.

My thoughts confirmed. Rifle also looks sanded etc.

They were asking $6,000

US pricing? Way too much. If someone is patient and willing to dig hard, a sanded rifle like that can be found for 3K USD if not cheaper, reproduction mount $150 USD and a decent original ZF4 can still be found for a little as $500 USD. Total max: $3700 IMHO.

Now if your north of the border - 6k would maybe be somewhat reasonable.
