A co-worker recently found a P-38 that his father brought back from WWII stored in a closet. His dad passed away several years ago and never told him anything about the gun. Here's a description of the gun:
Finish is good with a little holster wear.
Frame and slide are both marked 2658 and what looks like a lower case "t".
Slide is marked P-38 and "cyq".
Frame and slide both have several of the little eagle thingies stamped on them.
The metal finishing isn't good cosmetically. Lots of tool marks. Late war gun?
Grips are brown plastic, bore is bright and shiny w/ sharp rifling.
The gun is in a flap holster made from brown leather. Holster has a pouch for a second magazine, which is there. Also a tiny pouch for some small item (extra firing pin?) which isn't there.
What can you tell me about it? What is its approximate worth in today's market?
