Hi All,

Robert please feel free to add my pictures.

Here is a close picture of the 40 added under the AC, notice engraved look to the 40. I have added a few more shots to the link on my web page above. I will be glad to take the gun apart and photograph it that way also if you like. I have learned a lot about p38's buying this one. The guy wanted a lot for this gun because he looked it up in the blue book. Funny when I was leaving I told him "don't to spend all your money in one place". To that his reply was "I am taking my wife to <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region><ST1Jamaica </ST1</st1:country-region>with the money. <O</O


Enjoy!

Brannow,

Here is a Pic of the 40 added onto my AC, I have been told that they used a "Panagram" to do this?

Great finds!!! Just one question: the last loop on the dagger's hanger - is it a part of the hanger, or it is a belt loop, belt D-ring??

Great find! did the nepfew provide you with any history of his uncle and/or how/where the uncle may have gotten the items? Ray

Outstanding Group!

Congrats Bill...wow... the DLV OR the P-38 would have been my find of the year, but BOTH...whew! And I'm glad you paid him a fair price...I hear too many stories of people bragging how they grabbed items for a tiny fraction of the market value..why shouldn't we pay a fair price for items like these than can almost NEVER be found at gun or militaria shows...

Keep up the good work!

William
