K43 scope mount verification

[bmwr12]

I purchased this mount for a very reasonable price, my question is it original? Thanks

 

[Brian Kowalski]

yes, appears original

 

[bmwr12]

What type is this? I know there are several versions. Thanks

 

[Tiger 2 Tank]

Agreed. Looks good to me. Totally stripped down too. Didn’t leave any meat on those bones.

I currently have an older repro mount with an early Dow scope on my AC45 K43. This mount is certainly an upgrade over that and I will try to find original bands for it.I don’t think I could go wrong for what I paid for it.

 

[sturmgrenadier]

I like it

 

[Wilhelm]

It looks good to me too. Nice score!

I recently purchased another mount and scope but I will not have better pictures until Monday. It looks all original to me, any idea what color the triangle is on the scope?

 

[Tiger 2 Tank]

Looks like the paint is gone from the triangle. If it’s not gone, then I‘ll bet it’s blue and the photo is just washing the blue color out.

So what which one would be the best option for a AC 45 rifle?

Option 1

 

[bmwr12]

Option 2

 

[pitfighter]

Nice mount, good find. I'm looking for one, too.

Will look great on your rifle.

I would say option 1 is better for an ac45 rifle, the rounded edges are an earlier feature

 

[bmwr12]

I thought the square edge mounts were earlier then the rounded edge mount?

 

[CRH113]

I thought the square edge mounts were earlier then the rounded edge mount?

Definitely possible, I could be mistaken

 

[mdarnell19]

Early mounts are all square. But square and round are seen until the end of the war. Likely there were 2 different makers of the mounts.

I got the scope and mount today. The scope is pretty clear and it appears to be a blue triangle with most of the blue paint missing. Mount is 359 marked with serial 5859
