I can't tell for sure?? But I don't see a period after the P in P.38 ... the frame waffenampt shows late Mauser manufacture..what are the proofs marks on the slide right side and on the slide bottom at the back... might be an fn slide?? If so, a very rare gun...and might explain the deformation... Alanint is correct, looks bent then machined...part came that way..probably shouldn't be shooting it, any parts breakage will hurt the value.......til..lat'r...GT
