Book Description

March 1993
The P 38 was designed in late 1930 by the Germans, eventually replacing the P 08 Luger in Hitler's German Army. It remains in production today, and its efficiency and durability has influenced the design and construction of countless other military and sporting arms. Now the author traces the origins and development of the P 38 and its near demise. 300 photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars, for lots of hidden gems!, June 24, 2003

This review is from: P 38 Automatic Pistol: The First Fifty Years (Paperback)
And because they are hidden, it takes the reader much more time and effort to find and correlate them than at first expected. On the other hand, the author is indeed thorough in his coverage and well-versed about the P-38 series. All in all, a very good reference book, although not in the same league as the Collector's Grade pubs or W.H.B. Smith's tomes (however dated these may be).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: P 38 Automatic Pistol: The First Fifty Years (Paperback)
It goes into enough detail for the P38 or P1 owner with some info on the P4 and other models. I expect from this type of book a list of dates of manufacture per serial number if they were indeed serial (post war manufacture was) which is why it's shy a star. Otherwise, a book, should you own the gun, you'll want in your collection.
