I have owned them too... great "carry" guns since they are so light weight, especially if modified and hammer bobbed to be a "shorty" like the attached photo..., but the original frame finish lasts about as long as a chocolate candy bar in my hands...Without sarcasm, These guns will likely not become very rare during this generation, so--
1. keep it in the box if you want it to remain original, ---unless it is a shooter, then it doesn't matter cause it is going to wear... 2. Keep the frame treated with Renaissance Wax as an additional protection. Reapply when you have handled the gun. 3. Have it "hard" anodized the same color to make it more wear resistant. 4. Have the gun plated with armaloy or some similar finish.

Eugene offers a sectioned & shortened P38 -
