Just picked up a nice vet bring-back 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

Nice gun. Very similar to one I aquired from my father in-law. Mine was a vet bring home as well. Father in-law knew the vet and apparently he got it from a German officer in Holland. I have been checking around on the internet trying to find a value for mine. It is a Mauser made byf43. All matching serial numbers and in very good condition. Do you or anyone else know its value?
Thanks

Value will depend greatly upon where you live.

Notice your ac41 is in the j letter suffix block. The P.38 used the j as a letter suffix, but the P.08 did not as their letter suffix was cursive and the j looked too much like the i .
