A very rare zero series cyq with a FN slide. These examples were very rare until
the Russian captured P.38s were imported. Still, they are a bit tough to find and near
impossible in original condition. This pistol has some issues and is priced accordingly.
First, the frame is cracked on both sides from the trigger axle pin downward. The frame
appears to have had some rework as the finish does not look original to me and the grip
strap appears to have been smoothed some. That is just my take and I could be wrong
on the refinishing. The hammer appears to have had some refinishing and the firing pin
looks brand new. That is an inconsistency with an original pistol. Also, the right frame
rail is slightly skewed to the left and makes it a bit difficult to assemble and disassemble.
A very rare gun at a bargain price. SOLD
