Description
7/23/26 - This is a rare TRIFECTA parts P.38 with Walther, Mauser and Spreewerke parts. It is a late date AC Frame P.38 (armorers replacement frame from Walther), a Mauser byf 44 slide, and a CYQ marked and eagle/88 proofed barrel. The whole gun originally has no serial numbers, but there is an added serial number "0811" on the underside of the frame. It's a well-documented, but little known category of P.38's. These guns were made in 1945 towards the end of the war. The general speculation is that these guns were not made at main Walther or Mauser factories. In an effort to increase production, labor services were sought outside of the factories, with any parts they could get. Much of which were spare, salvaged or armorer's parts. One theory is they were built using camp labor at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp, but the truth is largely lost to history. The frame has a very nice plum color to it. The gun has retained about 95% of its finish with some discoloration on the top plate and minor high edge/muzzle wear. Fitted with black plastic Mauser grips and comes with a jvd magazine. Minty bore. De-cocker is functional but very stiff.
