you have an original Nazi P38 made in 1943 by Mauser Werk
Hello Battlegear,
I am not sure from the pictures that this gun retains it's "original" war time finish.Many P.38's have been refinished post war.Refinished pistols are worth about half of an original gun.Many guns were either reblued or "dipped".
I am sorry to hear your P.38 cracked a slide.I am curious what type of ammo you were shooting.Regular modern ammo is too strong IMHO.I use Federal American Eagle plinking ammo or Winchester USA.These loads are very "light".I also don't shoot my matching original finish guns as to preserve their value.
Regards,
Jason
