AC-45 C block mismatch

[nhowe92]

AC-45 mismatched “cigarette” gun. From what I’ve read this is correct for this series past the 3k range when the factory was captured. FN frame with non matching Walther locking block and slide. Came with this presumably repro soft shell holster and a P-1 mag in addition to the jvd P-38 mag. Makes for an interesting piece next to my all matching and still blued BYF-44. Covered in ballistol to be wiped down tomorrow. Considering taking the white and red paint off the front sight as well.

Nice P38 !! There’s a few matching ac45s in the 7xxxc range. No one knows why....

After the 3000c range, most are mismatched but some are matching.

I wouldn’t take the paint out of the safety lettering. That ‘s the way they were done.

Some of these had handmade parts. It looks like your safety lever was one of these handmade parts.

Ah I just meant the red and white paint on the front sight, it looks like it’s just nail Polish or something. Other wise a wipe down with ballistol and some bronze wool on the pitting was about it for cleaning
