Greetings,
My grandpa severed in US Army from June 1941 to September 1945. Stationed first in the Aleutian Islands June 42, then late 1944 sent to the Po Valley Region Italy until the end of the war. It was April 17-19, 1945 when he acquired the P.38 I’m honored to have for the past 12yrs now. He passed In 1998 when I was 16, and didn’t even know he had them until after the fact. I’ve done as much research as possible; no interest in selling, but I’d value my piece between $850-1,100. It’s an AC43 stacked serial #7055a matching all pieces of the pistol, I think is was produced February of 1943? Both magazines are WWII production, but only one has the matching military acceptance “395” proof. I do not however think the holster is original to the pistol. I think it’s originally For a P.08 Luger, but it securely fits the P.38. I’ve fired it probably 50-100 times and completely disassembled it which was a great experience. Based off the info I have of my grandpa’s location and date, I think the gun came from a unit of the 10th Mountain Division of the German Army but not sure about the accuracy of that. Here’s a few pictures of my P.38 -Jason
