Note: German pistol serial numbering started with no letter suffix in January of the new year and continued in sequence with a, b, c, etc. ![]() Mauser manufactured only 33,000 P.38 pistols in 1945. Based on the serial number, this pistol was made in January 1945 (slides marked “byf 44” are typically found on dual-tone P.38s made in early 1945). The magazine is also a major plus “Dual-Tone” P.38s typically have a blued magazine, but a very small percentage were instead equipped with a phosphate finished magazine like this example boasts! The black Polyamid-6 grips are also exceptional and the correct type used on late-war Mauser production.Īs designated by the “byf” manufacturer’s code, the pistol was made by Mauser-Werke AG, Oberndorf am Nekar. Of course, all of the serial numbers match on such a minty example. The pistol is fully functioning, including the safety de-cocker (which is often broken on P.38 pistols). The bore is perfect and it seems only test rounds were fired through it. ![]() The right side of the slide has a minor factory blemish, which is a common flaw found in the application of the late-war phosphate finish.
