Just picked up a nice vet bringback ac41 P38 ;)

Sadly, due to it being in Canada, no capture papers, but one of my good friends owns a gun shop and it was walked in as an estate item. Of course, it never made it into the display cabinet

I've had a good many P38's and it's uncommon to find one with a matching magazine - most mags were never stamped after 1941 or so from what I've seen.

This one had about 70-75% original finish remaining - most lost finish is on the front grip strap. Bore about an 8 out of 10 - sharp and crisp with a few minor spots of very light pitting. Very shootable and under a quick glance it looks pristine.

Lots of pics - hope you all enjoy

Ron, that is fantastic!!! Thanks for showing this beauty!!
Here is my matching AC41 slightly older than yours, but not in as nice shape as your piece. Matching mags ended with Walther in approx the early d block of 1942.

Nice finds, both of the P38's. The matching mag is a big plus.
