My wife's best friend's father returned home from WWII with a Walther P38. After he passed, I ended up recieving it.
Unfortunately it is a non matching Slide and Frame example. My made up story is... "That while in the trench one night, while german soldier A was sleeping, german soldier B fixed his broken P38 using A's frame."
When I recieved it, the sear was fractured. Mid war casting / metal technology issues.
If you didn't mind it going full auto, it worked quite well.
A new sear instlalled and it's right as rain.
