I don't think he made any of the 38 supers in this fashion? Best, til....lat'r...GT
Hi G.T., I've only seen pictures of John Martz's .45ACP Lugers but what works of art they are. WAY beyond my means but hey, I can dream, can't I?

Years ago, a friend and well known 1911 gunsmith named Ed Banks, took my 1927 Argentine .45 and turned it into a seven caliber setup. The original slide is used for .45ACP and .38/45. He put BoMar adjustable sights on a 9mm slide and it's good for .30 Mauser, 9mm, .38 Super, 9mm Largo and .41AE. There was other work involved and, of course, it requires the barrels, recoil springs and magazines. It's reliable with everything except the .41AE. The rebated rim causes problems with feeding.

Stay Safe, Walker
