Some years past, a man who worked for me needed cash and sold me four of his P-38’s, of which this is one. (He had more than a dozen but four was my limit.) He told me that all were purchased from vets with original magazines and holsters. I knew him as an honorable man (he is no longer with us) so had no reason to doubt him. This example is in remarkable condition and appears almost mint. Slide, frame and barrel all bear matching serial numbers. The holster has an unusual ink-stamp maker mark on the inside, and I am hoping that one of you knowledgeable collectors can identify the marking and determine the manufacturer. It is not deactivated and is very accurate.
