I came across a numbers matching 1943 P.38 made by Mauser that I thought would go well with my WWII Allied & Axis collection.
It's marked "byf" and "1943". It also has fairly clear "135" waffenamts which makes it an early to mid 1943 production gun. About Mid-1943 they switched to "WA135" waffenamts.
By this point in the war, the magazines were not serialized.
Holster is also marked 1943 with proof markings.
I am afraid this will lead to a Japanese Nambo Type 14 ....
