7/16/19 - Made in April of 1943, this is a near-mint Mauser P.38 with the desirable dust blue style finish. The pistol is all matching and original with 98-99% blue remaining, showing just a hint of muzzle wear and a minor finish loss along the top of the barrel from the slide being racked. The bore is mint and the reddish-brown grips are just as nice. Correct Mauser magazine.
