They said they had a P38 in the back and I asked to see it. It was a post war French 1945 build. They wanted 1700 for it. I said I’m good but I want the G33/40 for sure. They had an Israeli K98 DOT for 800 also.

It was Springfield MO

My local Basspro got a collection in and I went back today and found this 1942 G33/40. I don’t know a ton about these. It wasn’t on display yet and I got them to bring it out and let me look it over. Was $770 out the door so I figured I had to get it. I have never seen one in person before. The...

Found this circle marking.

One on GB also

That is what I have read. I asked if this one has a stock slot and he said no. I can’t wait to get it and see what it all is and if I can find any other marks on it. Should be here Tuesday.

That’s what I have seen in literature. That’s it’s 5% or less and the triangle with a O in it is another civilian sale marking. It’s found on other war time German pistols. Would love to know what government civilians or party members got these. Getting a small batch pulled from the line for...

I found one that sold a few years ago on a website that had information from the main book on FN HPs. Was worried I over paid but seeing what they sold theirs for I feel a lot better.

It’s interesting, but his information is wrong about them being built after the war.
