Blade and notch sights, with "P.38", "byf/ 43" and the serial number on the left side of the slide, and "eagle/ 135" and "eagle/ swastika" proofs on the right side, which are repeated on the barrel, locking block and frame. Matching serial numbers. Ribbed brown plastic grips and a "P.38v" marked magazine. With a brown leather holster marked "hlv/ 43", an extra magazine and a European Theater capture certificate, dated 27 September 1945, which describes the pistol as "Manufacturer - Walther Bros." but otherwise is a match.
