P38 AC41 J Block

[ugafx4]

Picked this up off of gunbroker. Excited to get it in, it is my first German pistol with matching mag. This is one of those pieces I wish could talk, it has been there and done that. A warhorse.

I really like the AC41s for the finish and the numbering of the small parts. It is incredible what they put waffenampts on. Literally everything.

Nice pistol, I have one in the "b" block. I assume the seller posted a photo of the matching locking block right? That holster is a looker too.

Its in my possession already, came from here in NC. Nothing like one day shipping. Here are a couple more photos. The seller actually did not post photos of locking block. He also did not mention that it had matching mag. You could see it stuck in the holster. He added that it had all matching numbers and matching mag with one of those little addendum notes. I felt like a little gamble.

Very nice! Like the holster too. I recently found a cgu 40 P.38 holster and I seldom see these anymore.

The seller seemed a little clueless as to what he had..hope you got a bargain! Awesome pistol. Be careful though, p.38s can be addictive. I got one just to have an example, that was 6 months ago, and now I have 4 of them.

Sweet!! Very nice pistol Ty. And matched mag is a cherry!!

Thanks everyone, I too like the holster. Very pleasant color. It's my first hardshell p38 holster.

Story I got from the shop is that the grandfather brought back two p38s. They walked into the shop and sold one.
They signed up for a concealed carry class and used the other to qualify for the class. Hopefully the second matched mag isn't sitting in that pistol.

This is my 3rd p38. I enjoy them, and I would really love an SVW45 to go with my SVW45 rifle.

Very sweet piece, I'd love to ad a early P38 with matching mag to the collection! Great piece thanks for showing it.

Thanks guys. I may have picked up another p38 this morning. Will post photos when I get it in. You guys are right, they do multiply. From two to four in two days.
