From 1945 production, manufactured using non-standard P.38 components, including Model HP and formerly redirected commercial parts, with an estimated production total of less than 2,000 as described on page 189 of Warren H. Buxton's " The P.38 Pistol: Volume Two." Features fixed blade front and notch rear sights, ribbed Bakelite grips, "ac 45" production code on the left side of slide, and "eagle/359" acceptance proof on the right side of the slide and locking block. Matching "0" prefix serial numbers on the barrel, slide, and frame with a matching "562" partial on the locking block. With a dull late war blue finish on all components. Includes a "P.38v." marked blued magazine.

Excellent overall, retaining 97% plus original late war blue finish with minor edge wear, faint spotting, plum discoloration, and well defined marking. Mechanically excellent.
