Mauser P38, byf 43 police version

(1/2) > >>

vlim:
This pistol is completely commercially proofed (Eagle/N) and has a police acceptance marking (Eagle/L).
It was delivered by Mauser to the German police in 1943 and has a 2-digit serial number.
The pistol received british proof markings at a certain time, and it turned up in Israel. So it certainly made an interesting journey.

Drill Sergeant:
What great pieces of history. That these pistols ended up in Israeli hands is both incredible and ironic.


Thanks for posting!

Very nice, I like the two-digit serial number.  I know some don't like the British proofs, but I don't mind them.  They look fine compared to the ugly U.S. Import marks that look like a billboard ad.  Nice find,

gebirg:
Nice P.38 and a great mysterios history - makes it even more exiting...

jcorl:
I have always enjoyed seeing the British proofs. Nice looking example.
