Description

IN 97% ORIGINAL UNMESSED WITH CONDITION, ALL MATCHING INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL MAGAZINE, WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND EARLY VARIANT PRE LETTER BLOCK AC 42 P38. THIS GUN IS VERY EARLY AND IS IN THE FIRST 200 MADE IN 1942, WHICH ADDS TO ITS ALLURE. AC42 P 38’S WERE ONLY ISSUED WITH A NUMBERED MAGAZINE THROUGH THE B BLOCK SO THEY ARE THE RAREST AND HARDEST P38 TO FIND WITH A MATCHING NUMBERED MAG. THESE MAGS ARE DISTINCTIVELY NUMBERED LENGTHWISE AS WELL, WHILE THE EARLIER GUNS WERE NUMBERED ACROSS THE TOE OF THE MAG. THIS IS A VERY CLEAN EXAMPLE WITH MOST OF THE WEAR ON THE GRIPSTRAP. THIS GUN IS JUST TOO INTERESTING FOR THE SERIOUS P38 COLLECTOR TO PASS UP.
