Mauser P38 “Double-Stamp Error” – Rare 1944 Collector’s Treasure

Presented here is an exceptionally rare Mauser P38 from 1944, featuring the highly sought-after “double-stamp error” configuration. This unique factory anomaly—where original markings were struck twice—creates a distinctive and desirable variation seldom encountered on the market.

The pistol is in outstanding, near-mint condition, with all matching serial numbers throughout. It is fitted with the correct and very rare brownish-red grips specific to late-war production. Accompanying the firearm is its correct magazine （2）and a period-correct hard shell holster with matching year designation, completing an exceptional and authentic set.

What makes this piece truly special is that all stamps on the pistol are original factory double impressions, not later alterations—an extremely uncommon feature that enhances both its historical significance and collector appeal. It vividly reflects the intense production pressures and evolving conditions within Mauser factories during the final phase of World War II, while still demonstrating remarkable craftsmanship.

Opportunities to acquire such a rare variant in this level of condition, with matching components and complete accessories, are exceedingly limited.
