    German issued Mouser P-38 cir 1943

    The first gun show I went to when I moved to Montana I picked this up was on the hunt for a issued 1911 but nothing saw this and for 900 bucks not a bad deal original bluing and matching numbers and no imports marks so a vet bring back gun . This was made by mouser issued in 1943. One thing about MT you walk out with the gun no wait like when I use to go to the cal palace gun shows in Calf a different world here in MT.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Did shoot it once all most as good as my sig 9mm. This was the first gun with a decoking lever that most modern guns have today.

    The Germanicon Walther PP and the PPK had decocking levers well before the Walther designed P-38 came along. It is where Walther got the idea for the P-38 to have it. Now because of the age of it there are some P-38 pistols that the decocking system doesn't work properly and these can fire when the hammer is dropped. Always be sure to keep the pistol pointed in a safe direction when you lower the hammer.
