As most already know, many late Mauser P.38s were phosphate finished. The German light gray was always my favorite, the dual tones are nice (blued barrels, phosphate slide and frame) Lonnie has got my (previously my) nice minty Dual tone.
Marvin has some nice ones as does my buddy Bill Stanley. The phosphate finish is tough and much harder to remove than regular salt bluing. A functional finish for a pistol that might see hard use.
