Found it at the shop that is doing a cut and crown on my Enfield '06.
It is a P-38, coded AC41. No bluing left. Slide and frame match, mag and barrel do not. Tooling marks on the barrel suggest late war manufacture. Frame to slide fit is very good nonetheless. Would make a very good shooter. The shop is asking $425. That is the lowest price on a WWII P-38 I have seen for many years, mismatch or not. The shop actually has a warranty on used guns. The gun was disassembled, checked out, headspaced and test fired. He has no layaway however. The slushfund is empty due to buying the aforementioned Enfield sporter and a correctly stocked Mosin M38 in the last month.
The Imperial Red-Headed Scorpio said that I should get some more handguns because the rifles are taking over. I must say that is impeccable logic. Hopefully I can work enough OT and sock enough money away before it sells.
