Marc:
Thanks very much for your kind reply.
Your comments are much welcome, but now, even i was anxious to shoot those pistols, I will try to stop, since my other Luger had a broken firing pin in the past.

You're right about the original finish, wear and the SN of the P38. They were kept in some arsenal (in East Germany, they told us, but anyone knows) until the late 70's, and then stored not much better until now. The holsters are pressumably for the same era and show they were used.

I am happy to hear about the magazines, since we have 6 of them.

Sadly, the P 38 came without a holster or even a second magazine. I'll try to get one, even if it doesn't match the period time.

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, I am sure my father in law will be happy to know about the guns.
Much obliged,
Sincerely.
