$450.....wow......thats all what I have to say.

Yes its durofol marked in a diamond inside,believe its correct for DUV G43 rifles."Blond" stocks like this were issued on some rifles .Have heard germans soldiers would put used motor oil on them to darken the wood so they didnt stand out.

Not sure if it was DUV. Used to know but forgot. But these durofol guards are a huge bonus.

Thanks Map!Duv was the only G43 maker that used them as far as I know,this handguard survived in ex cond.I think some of this material was used on late p38 grips also.
