G41 Question

[lugercollector]

I recently acquired a really nice original G41.....every part matches....however,I cannot find a number on the nose cone?.....it is a DUV 43 Model....Should this part be numbered?....Thanks

I've never owned one but the pictures I've seen all had the last 2 digits stamped on the out side of the nose cap

The serial number on the nose cones were generally put on the flats , check to insure one has not been filed off. The cones were the number one problem with this model.finding a rifle that made it through production or armour replaced cone would not be an issue for most collectors or value.
