Hi all,
This pistol came my way over the weekend. It's a PP that was assigned to the RSHA (Reichssicherheitshauptamt) the umbrella organization that included some of Adolf's worst thugs.
The slide is numbered to the frame as is the magazine. The external condition is not too good but it was inexpensive.

Len,

These RSHA pistols are scarce... especially with the matching marked magazine. Good pick up.

Len,

great pick up, and with numdered mag to boot. I had seen this the other day on the p-38 forum but did not get a chance to comment on it. very nice!

did you by chance see the one I had picked up a month or so ago and posted there? it is a 2nd variation with no suffix. sadly the matching mags were lost to time,
