Had this stored for many years. P38 ac 42. 1942 was a big year for this gun with thousands being made by prisoners after Germany took over the Walther plant. Quality is not as good as pre WWII pistols. All matching serial numbers and with the Nazi proof marks.Enjoy and glad to share.

I've had a number of the war time P-38's & the nazi proofs were usually a bit weak. Never had one jam though. Great pistol design.
