Nice K-Date photos...

To Doubs: Early Spreewerke P.38's had very nice finishes, generally. There was some inconsistency but the very rough finishes didn't come into play until the later suffixes. I have cyq serial #820 and the finish, though worn some, is as good as any Walther made at the same time, maybe somewhat better.

As I mentioned on my web site, Warren Buxton personally inspected and took the pictures of the 10000f example. I trust Warren's assessment of a P.38 as to originality.
