NO RESERVE!! Here's an interesting pistol that's certainly seen some history. This P.38 last saw service with the East German police. It was originally built in war-time Nazi Germany, the frame being from a late production Walther. The slide is from a Spreewerke, either a spare or a late production piece with just a single Eagle/88 acceptance. The slide also has an X'd-out serial number on the forward left side which likely indicates it was at one time part of a Czech vz.46 as well! The barrel is of East German manufacture and bears the Crown/N nitro proof. The locking block was manufactured by Walther according to the E/359 proof. The magazine is of East German manufacture and is serial numbered to this pistol. All parts have been renumbered to match the frame and I can find no import markings on the gun. The right side of the frame has the typical small round peened over area where the East German property stamp used to reside. Overall condition is very good and the gun retains about 90% of the East German reblue. There is no rust or pitting, although the grip tang has a few casting flaws. The grips are in good condition with a small chip at the top/rear of the left panel and a scratch on the face of the right panel. The right panel is from an earlier production Walther pistol and carries the E/359 acceptance inside. The mechanics are in good working order, including the sometimes troublesome safety/decocker. The bore is excellent, bright and sharp. This is a unique pistol, and while a rework assembled from various parts, it certainly tells an interesting story.
