A staple of the World War II German Army, the P-38 was designed and produced by Walther but the 9mm pistol was also produced by Spreewerk and Mauser with the latter making P-38s at their facility in Oberndorf am Neckar in 1942 under a variety of manufacturer's codes. This pistol's "byf 44" code, "WaA145" Waffenamt inspector's marks and 7168w serial number puts its manufacture about July 1944. To put this into historical perspective, this is just after the famous D-Day invasion in Normandy. The pistol also has ribbed phenolic AEG Grips, which are correct to period Mauser-made P38s.
"Byf 43" Marked, Includes 2 Magazines
The Mauser P-38 is a family of full-sized semi-automatic pistols chambered in a number of calibers. A 4.75” inch barrel is adorned with a notch rear sight and a blade front sight. Walnut or Bakelite grips are both available, each textured in order to ensure users have a firm grasp on the P-38. These pistols have been produced from 1938 to the present, and saw extensive service during World War II.

And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
