First P.38, import marked AC44

Hello gents, I picked up this P.38 a few weeks ago at a local gunshow. It isn't particularly special as it seems to be double import marked and has mismatched grips, but it seemed like a decent price at $500 with one correct mag and 4 commercial mags. I always wanted to have one to shoot. I think it is a dipped captured pistol but I am pretty confused about it since the locking block seems to still be in the white and the numbers match. From my limited research, RC P.38s appear to be mostly re-numbered and I really don't know anything else about other types of captured pistols such as Ukrainian etc. If you guys could tell me more about this or correct me on anything, I would really appreciate it as a new guy here.20210414_203606.jpg20210414_203617.jpg20210414_203532.jpg
 
Most rc’s match like this actually. It looks dipped, someone probably cleaned the locking block, it’s easy to do. Good price though.

Thanks mrfarb. That explains a lot. I am having trouble with uploading the second import mark photo right now, but as the photo depicts it has the CAI import mark on the right side of the frame. On the bottom of the frame where the magazine well it also has a coles dist. import mark too.
