This is an interesting gun with no serial number. I believe it to be a post plant capture assembly.
What is interesting is that all the parts in the gun are Walther except the slide which is Fabrique
Nationale and stamped E/140. There is also the Ml stamped on the underside of the slide at the rear.
The Walther assembled P.38s with a FN slide are quite rare. This example shows that the slides were
still in the plant at war end. The barrel and the trigger are in the white. The slide has a very different
blue than the frame. The slide blue is more of a medium blue where the frame is a dark blue.
