Manufactured in 1944 using a slide produced by Fabrique Nationale. These slides are believed to have been originally intended as a Walther sub-contract item but instead bear Mauser's assigned Waffenamt code. Fixed sights, with the left side of the slide marked "P38" and "ac/44" ahead of the serial number, with matching numbers and a series of "eagle/swastika" and "eagle/WaA135" proofs on the components. The barrel is finished in a bright blue, with a phosphate gray finish on the slide and frame. Fitted with a "WaA135" marked magazine and a pair of ribbed grips with a lanyard loop on the left side. Includes a black leather holster marked "gxy1944" and "P38"on the back, and a "jvd" marked extra magazine

Excellent, with 97% plus original blue and phosphate finishes, with bright edge wear and minor handling marks overall. The grips are also excellent. Mechanically excellent. The holster is excellent showing a few minor scuffs.
