German Mauser P38 Pistol, serial #122p, 9mm Para., 5″ barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a “byf/43” coded pistol that has matching numbers on the frame, slide, barrel, and locking block with the metal retaining about 95-97% of the original blue that has silvered slightly at the muzzle, on projecting edges, frontstrap, and on some of the bearing surfaces. The pistol has some minor spots of darker freckling on the left portion of the slide near the front of the ejection port, and is mechanically excellent; functioning flawlessly. The loaded chamber indicator has had a small spot of red paint added to the end for visibility, and the mottled brown phenolic resin grips are in fine shape with only minor wear and negligible surface scratches present on either panel. The pistol comes with a single Waffenamt marked magazine. This is a superb example of a mid-war P.38 that is in excellent overall condition.
This transfers as a modern firearm.
