Real or Replica?

I believe that batches of P-38 pistols are now in the process of being imported from Europe.

Others are showing up at dealers like "Aim Surplus"... They are running in the $550 range over there. R-Guns may be one of the companies doing the importing.

These will be import marked, and as such are less collectable than those that haven't been modified in this way. The dip re-finishing also makes them less collectable. These most likely were Russian Capture after WW-II or were used in another Eastern block country like Czechoslovakia.
