*◊ MAUSER P38, MILITARY, SVW 45, FRENCH ASSEMBLED, WITH STEEL GRIPS.

SN 2306g. Cal. 9mm. Mauser P38 with 4-7/8″ bbl. Left slide marked “P38, SVW 45” followed by the SN 2306g. The right side of the slide marked with the Mauser Eagle/135 proof adjacent to the five-pointed French star. The Mauser marking is repeated on the left side of bbl and frame; the French proof star is repeated on the left side of the locking block and the left side of the bbl, under the chamber. After the war, the bbl was marked with English proofs. Disassembly shows matching SN on all parts, including many small parts that Mauser would have otherwise left blank, except for the steel pressed grips. The left panel was numbered “9423”; the right panel is unnumbered. Blued “jvd” mag whose right side is marked “P38/U”. PROVENANCE: Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: Pistol retains at least 98% of a refinished blue. No highlighting of the “S” or “F”. Comparable condition frontstrap. Slightly more wear on each of the steel grip panels, particularly along their leading edges. Bright bore with sharp rifling and mild frosting. Hammer drops on slide closure, an important issue to correct if the pistol is to be fired. No other problems upon manual function. 4-52640 LMA33 (550-850) – Lot 1239
