Yeah. The Smith M39 was basically a remake of the P-38 with that double action/single action transition. Websites consistently show the nice ones in the $1200 range. . .that's a fixed price. I doubt auction sites have gotten that high yet. The P-38's are not all the same. Some argument regarding the Walther or Mauser as being the most desirable. I prefer the Walther by just a tad. The Spreworks (sp) is the trashy one and priced way below the others. It's functionally fine and a good gun. Just an Eastern European thing.
