Like this black gun, but know absolutely nothing:

(1) Any obvious issue from the pix?
(2) Fair market price for this configuration and condition?
(3) Is P38 magazine normally unnumbered?

TIA

I like it, too...

I'm no expert, and I've only owned three P-38's (two were 35+ years ago), but the market for Walther P-38's seems low today with correspondingly low prices (my Russian capture was $400)...Having said that, and since auction is not over, the last bid of $672 (at this writing) seems on the higher end, for this point in time at least...Will be interesting to see what it sells for...

One point - he states "We will ship this to a C&R holder; however, we do not send a copy of our FFL as it is not required by law."...My state/FFL receivers do require a copy of the sellers' FFL or C&R FFL...
