This video explores the "Grey Ghost," a P38 pistol produced by the French after they took control of the Mauser factory in May 1945. With a large stock of pistol parts available, the French restarted P38 production, picking up from the German serial number blocks. The video details the transition, noting the French adoption of their own acceptance marks (a 5-pointed star) and updated slide codes (svw45 and svw46). It highlights that many components were German-made and some original proof marks may still be present on these post-war French P38s.
