WTK: Are P-38 with matching mags unusual? text

[ppkfan]

I have seen many P-38's lately for sale and some quite good in example.....Would the Board comment on rareity of an AC-41 (Walther) P-38 (subvariation 2) with its original and matching magazine? ie. magazine matches the serial number of the gun itself (frame, slide, small parts, etc.).

My thinking would be that it would be pretty rare to find such an animal....

thank you.

Hi ppkfan,
I would not call it "rare".Before 1943 most P.38's were issued two # mags.I would call it desirable.Now to find one with two matching mags that would be a winner.But I always say condition is everything.Watch out for "Force Match" or "Boosted" mags.
Regards,
Jason
