Mauser P.38 AC43 – WWII German 9mm Pistol with FN Slide, Matching Numbers, and Capture Papers

An exceptional example of a World War II-era German sidearm, this Mauser P.38 is a 1943 AC43-coded production, chambered in 9mm, and features rare and desirable characteristics collectors look for.

This pistol is equipped with an original FN-supplied slide, identifiable by the correct German WaA135 Waffenamt acceptance marks, a detail confirming its wartime production and supply collaboration. The dual-tone blue finish rates an impressive 97%, showing only minimal handling wear, and the bore is excellent—sharp, bright, and clean.

Adding to its authenticity, the pistol retains all matching serial numbers, a rare find in itself. The factory-original red/brown Bakelite grips are intact and in great condition, consistent with 1943 production standards.

What truly sets this piece apart is the inclusion of the original WWII U.S. capture paper, documenting its bring-back status—a highly sought-after piece of provenance that underscores the pistol’s historical significance.

A rare and highly collectible wartime firearm, this Mauser P.38 AC43 is a standout piece for any serious military or WWII arms collector.
