Made under the ac 45 code in Zella-Mehlis during 1945, this P.38 reflects late-war production with correct military acceptance marks. The Heereswaffenamt Eagle/359 stampings are present, and the slide and frame are numbers matching. No import mark is visible, aligning with a historically consistent example for this period.
It features the P.38’s DA/SA, short-recoil locked-breech system with a falling locking block. Controls include a heel magazine release, a slide-mounted safety/decocker, and a loaded chamber indicator. The external spur hammer and 8+1 capacity round out its functional setup.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish and the signature open-top slide capped by a separate top cover. The 4.9 in barrel is paired with fixed iron sights, using a front blade and rear notch for a straightforward sight picture. A lanyard loop at the heel is present, consistent with service pistols of the era.
Ribbed brown/red marbled Bakelite grip panels provide the correct look and feel for a late-war P.38. As a full-size sidearm chambered in 9mm Luger, this ac 45- coded pistol combines correct WWII features with numbers-matching major components and clean internals.
