![]() ![]() Walthers, Mausers, Sauers, and others and including pistols from captured nations were all used. ![]() Party officials invariably wore other pistols, usually smaller ones. Along with the P.08 (Luger) they went first and mostly to military personnel, and not just officers. P.38s were first line standard military pistols. Now, if they mean they think the gun belonged to a Nazi Party Official (a person), that is doubtful. Nearly all Nazi uniforms include a pistol, but there was no "party standard" pistol. The German military did, but the Party did not. There was no Nazi Party "official" handgun. If the seller is not deliberately lying, then they are misinformed, or most likely just ignorant of what the Nazi markings Either way you take the statement, its not correct in historical terms, or general terms, unless the seller has the valid documentation to prove it is a rare exception to the general practice, which, I doubt. Next point "nazi party offical".well, no, not hardly. There were no "factory nickel plated P.38s" produced during WWII. but it wasn't done by the factory that made the gun. ![]() It may have been nickel plated by a factory, some factory, sometime after WWII. What is pictured is, as 105kw pointed out a late war gun from one of the subcontract manufacturers. Finally went away, though I don't think anyone actually bought it. A consignment gun it sat there for several months. I have seen one other nickel P.38, in a shop about a decade ago, asking price was $900 and it has the original period correct holster. If its $1995 the seller is still high, and if was "only" $995 the price would still be too high. If its $2995 the seller is high, and I mean high as in on drugs. ![]()
