12/27/17 - This is a rare svw 45 marked Mauser P.38, that was made at the end of the war in the French Mauser factory. This gun is especially rare in that the barrel, frame and slide are all phosphated, with only the takedown lever and trigger blued on this pistol. This is one of the last ones made as the 'f' letter block was at the very end of production. All numbered parts are matching. Correct late war black grips. Magazine is late war, but no proof marks. Bore has strong rifling with only minor frost. The finish on the fun is very nice on the frame, but the slide has a few spots of corrosion on the right side. Mechanics seem sound, including decocker.
