This is a general question on a mid-war P-38. It's an AC over 43 weapon with all matching serials and the eagle over 359 marks and eagle over (swastika?--lightly struck--hard to be sure) on the frame, slide, barrel locking block, etc. The question is, is it safe to assume that a mid 1943 weapon from the Walther plant would have been issued to a nazi soldier and used in the war? In ohter words this is likely a war-used weapon as opposed to something that was civilain or commercial use?
