WTK WALTHER & duv G.41 G./K.43 information for listing

Hello fellow collectors:

I am taking on a HUGE undertaking. As what Orv did during his life, who obtained P.38 serial number information and P.38 information on the guns that are out there, I would like to do for the G.41 and G./K.43's. I am compiling a list of WALTHER G.41's and G./K.43's. Eventually I would like to do all the manufacturers of these rifles, but right now all I can handle are the rifles from Walther manufacturing.

If you would like to submit a rifle you have or have seen somewhere, post it here and I'll put that information on the list. My hope is that I can get an extensive list of these rifles and their conditions or just their serial numbers. Maybe one day this list can help buyers or collectors researching something as Orv's list has helped many out there.

Here's what I'm looking for (remember, right now WALTHERS):

Serial number AND whether it's an ac43, ac44 or ac45 (most important-I can't use any information you provide without this one thing)

G or K.43 marked or dual G.43 K.43 marked receiver

Receiver: milled or rough forged

stock: sanded, original, correctly marked, serial number matching rifle, stained, shellacked, duffle bag cut, sportarized whatever the condition is. ALSO "round type" or "flat type" (referring to the area just forward of the magazine)

sight hood or no sight hood

ribbed or flat butt plate door

If scope and mount comes with rifle, matching not matching, unknown if matching or not.

rifle matching, not matching, or parts that you can see that are matching (I know we aren't going to be able to take most of these down, just list what you can see is fine)

barrel threaded or not threaded

wood upper hand guard or Durofol

anything else you would like to add

Thank you in advance. I'll post another thread once this part is completed for the most part and I start on a second manufacturer. Also, if you are interested in information on these rifles, email me and I'll see what I can get for you. Right now, I'm just starting, but if I have the info I'll share it.

Example of how it will be listed:

G.43
ac44 #XXXXa 02/25/15 www.gunbroker.com Arlington, VA
comments: matching rifle, milled receiver, threaded barrel, ribbed butt plate door, stock matching to rifle and original.

That list is pretty good too, but I would like to do my own. I've found some of the ones on my list aren't on that list. And, I'm trying to record a little more information than on that list.
 
It's difficult to get even the most basic information. I have collected information the last 14 years and have now about 1750 records. The problem is also that most rifles are more or less unoriginal.
New inputs for the list are very welcome.

Hello,

I have been collecting info for the last 15 years for Walther, BLM, BCD for G41 (W), G41, G41M, and G/K43' rifles. The way I went about it is you REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY need to collect PICTURE proof of the rifles serial at a MIN the rest IS GRAVY info, going by a reported rifle with out CONFIRMATION is really a waste of time IMO. So many folk HONESTLY report incorrect info by mistake. with picture confirmed info it is a SLOW process and not every one takes good enough pics, blurs, block's out, distorts there serials. I am only at JUST over 1400 observations. good luck and some advise I learned over the years. you also forgot Panel Cut receivers for Walther.


later

Thanks. No, I haven't forgotten "panel cut receivers". I'm documenting those too in the narrative under "comments".
 
Okay, I am now on duv's......

Any one have any G.41, G.43, K.43 duv/qve rifles to report please advise. Also any Walthers as well. Mauser G.41's and bcd will be done later. Thanks in advance.
 
Good idea! Would be good to carry a few around when at a large gunshow expecting to come across a few. Then take ot home and put on the list. Thanks
