Was this at the Calgary Gunshow a few years back? Hmmmmm.....there's a slight problem as there were only 3 codes (makers) (byf, duv, ar) for a K98 zf41 and unfortunately there were never any dual code zf41 K98's made except by Bubba in Waffenfabrik Amerika/Canuckistan! Hopefully no one bought the dual code as they got taken with a Humper. Unfortunate.

Im pretty sure It sold. Ive seen the same dealer at shows after that, I always stop in and see how high a garand can be priced and walk away. Joe can likely second that.
The only zf-41 that I have ever seen at recent Calgary gun shows was a put together. The dealer is from out by Drumheller, and has put together many sniper repros over the years -- no4ts, mosin, SVT, K98 variants. All that I have seen have been assembled from parts.
Unfortunately, this is just a finished project and not an original, but still fun. I used a base adaptor on the rear sight base and not a replacement rear sight sleeve so not K98's were harmed in the making of this project.
Here is the view through the Zf41 at 100m on an 8" bull. You can see why this would not be good in a fast moving combat situation with it's small objective lens, poor light gathering and low magnification. I kind of like it at the range though, definitely enhances targeting.

If it was mismatched and humped, it's still to high. Did it at least come with a scope and mount?
Yup it came with a scope and mount if i had the money at the time i would have probably bought it but sadly i did not.
