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 "jvd" marked magazine and a pair of ribbed grips with a lanyard loop on the left side.

Very fine, with 85% plus of the original phosphate finish, 95% of the original blue finish showing some bright wear on the edges and on the front strap, along with some light handling marks. The grips are excellent, with a few minor scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
