  2. Production began in late 1940 at serial number 700,000, as an extension of the serial number range of the Mauser Model 1934 pistol, a much more difficult pistol to manufacture. The early pistols have well-made wooden grips, and are highly polished and richly blued.

Mauser continued to produce P.38's and did not adapt to starting serial numbers over again when the year changed. The first variation of these guns with byf 43 slides will be the same as guns with byf 42 slides but no e/135 parts. The serial number range is 4958a-2119f with 50,000 produced. Serial numbers ranged from 1 to 10,000. Mauser started over at serial number 1 each time the number 10,000 was reached. After the first 10,000 pistols were completed, the firm added a suffix letter to ensure that each pistol had a unique serial number. The suffix letter increased each time the plant started at serial number 1 again. 5 or 6 digit serial number on diagonal flat 50 - 1000 meter sight small ring hammer, early style hole through safety knob full serial number in two places on back 'step' frame; lanyard ring pivots fore & aft walnut grip panels with 30 to 36 lines no factory markings here (there may be military or police unit marks stamped on later).
