SOLD - Rare byf 42 Mauser P.38

5/8/17 - This is a rare byf 42 Mauser-made P.38.  It is a first-year Mauser production, where only 19,000 of these wer made, making it only slightly more common than the zero series or Nazi-marked svw 45's.  It is all original, correct and matching, with proper wartime grips and an E/135 marked magazine.  The original finish rates at about 90%, with a spot of finish loss and minor corrosion on the left side of the slide, and just general thinning on other parts of the pistol.  Excellent bore.
