Hi everyone,
An acquaintance of mine has recently inherited this P38 that was “liberated” by his grandfather in WW II. He was an officer in EOD.
From the codes it seems to have been made by Mauser in 1943. All the part #s match up. It came with a correct 43 brown leather holster as well. The nickel job appears very well done (Factory?). The proof marks are all sharp and clear, even the small acceptance stamps show up well. The pistol appears tight and very lightly fired if at all.
Can any of you give me more information about this pistol? What Nazi would have had a nickel plated P38?
