Definitely a pre-14 K38 masterpiece with the barrel cut down. Started as a 6" and not sure if now 4, 4.5 or 5" at this point but the front sight is obviously reattached.

Very interesting gun. Everyone seems to think Oriental origins and I can't argue. With the unadorned ivories I was thinking German or Austrian but I could be wrong on the engraving.
