Looks legit, and appears to possibly have its original scope ( need more and better pics to tell 100%) but the stock has been stripped and possibly refinished.

I hope there are usable pictures here. My English is not that good. maybe I did not understand something correctly. Greeting Stefan

office for shelling in Germany 1999 the "K" stands for the number 9.
In 1999 she must have come to Germany. she was registered there

The scope is the original issued scope, I see no signs of the barrel shank being scrubbed and a new scope number being applied as is done during refurbishment a lot, Butt plate and magazine cover appear to be original also, and the stock is almost assuredly original, though id has been stripped and sanded which is a pitty. The bolt is a coin toss, but I am leaning towards original also as the fonts look good on the s/n.

What you have is a original matching PU sniper that was probably lightly refurbed postwar, and some previous owner stripped all the lacquer off it to make it pretty. The sanding could have happen then , or during refub, but either way you have a night legit PU sniper

Thank you so much for your evaluation. That reassures me very much. The previous owner was of the opinion that it was probably used by the Russian secret service at that time. It's probably one of 400 pieces, hence the number 108. But I think it's a fictional story.

Remember, buy the rifle, not the story
