Here's a nice matching zero series. These were intended for the commercial market, but pressed into military service as things crumbled in 1945. Notice the lack of final acceptance E/359. Buxton's book states that only 1200 of this variation were made. Beautiful finish and grips on this one. Holster is commercial production. I have the missing piece of the closure strap. Enjoy

P38 zero series

Just asking but should the mag be one of the U marked examples? I owned one sold it last year, they can be salty.

The U mag is probably more appropriate.
