Well, after jumping through lots of hoops for a friend, I finally drove down to his house today and picked up an M38 he found and saved for me. Its absolutely one of the best I've seen. As far as I can tell, it hasnt been issued. Its a 1942 production from the Tula factory. The bore is perfect and there isn't a wear or major scratch mark anywhere on it.
Some of the most exciting aspects are the fact that I got a few original stripper clips, with more on the way hopefully. I have tried the aftermarket ones with my other 38, and they simply dont work. These work like a charm, it's amazing. He also threw in a dog collar sling which was exactly what I was looking for.
So all that, around 30 rds of ammo, more stripper clips and a pouch on the way, for $65 dollars. I'm thrilled with it and cant wait to see how it shoots. As soon as I can get down to my dad's I am going to give it a great cleaning and take some pictures of it to show off. I guess there are a lot of people who get sick of seeing them since they are all pretty much the same, but for those like me I will post the pics asap!
