Drydock:
For some time now I've had a WW2 Spreewerke P38 frame I picked up off a gun show pile of parts for Not Much.  I thought it would make a nice spare for my aluminum framed P1, but I've always had an itch to build a complete gun with it.  BUt it seems those part kits dried up around the same time I found the frame.  Go figger.

Cruising the net a few weeks back, I saw that Everygunpart.com had some P38 kits.  Now there were the war time ones with those little bitty bird stampings on them that they wanted stupid money for, then there were the ones marked P38, for which the prices were just slightly obnoxious, but there was ONE kit with a slide marked "P1" that I thought was reasonable, and I preferred anyway because that ensured it had the updated and easier to get slide parts in it.  (The only thing that ever changed on the frames was the material)  So I put the order in.

Also there's no way I could ever be accused of trying to "Fake" anything.

Received it Friday, and over the weekend put it together.  It was not hard (thank you YouTube) and it ended up with a nice feeling action and a decent trigger. and a VERY nice shiny barrel.  Still waiting on some wooden grips I ordered before I shoot it,

BUt the neat thing to me was the date on the slide.  My Original P1 is dated  8/64, this one the slide is dated 6/64.  Only a couple months apart after 56 years apart.  So now I've got a brace of Walthers for Zoot.  With a Hungarian PPK to stick in my boot.

And the frame even has one of them itty bitty birds on it.  ;)


Now if only  my 1951 Beretta had been patented 2 years earlier!

Major 2:
I had a P2  (a police buy back )  and got Altamont wood grips for it, it was a nice gun, wish I still had it.
I traded it when I got ....

My  bdf (Mauser) 1944 with Waffen ( eagle ) marks and matching numbers ( except the magazine )
It was a war trophy,  but the particulars were not received by me.  :(
It has the redish grips.
I sorta stumbled into collecting bring backs/war trophies.

I discovered this holster for the P38 on eBay normally What Price Glory or Man the Line has these in Black or Brown listing at $25 and change to $32.

This one offered by  LUCKYLINE1945 had an opening bid @ $15 , screamed "bid & buy me !"  even with shipping it only $21

I figured I'd go for it , if I got out bid ....'Tant pis 

Dang if I did not win it .... :)  the guy has a few more and some for other pistols like PPK's or  9mm Random

I'm please with the quality and at the cost double pleased  ;)

But it did look like brand spanking new... that was addressed, and now it looks better 

Bat 2919:
Luckyline posts thing on E bay that he doesn't have in stock.  I have no way of knowing if he has this holster, but It took for ever for him to get me my money back for an item I paid for, that he finally admitted he didn't have and couldn't say when he would receive one to send me.
