Re: WW II PISTOLS
Check out the Walther forum classifieds to search for a good P.38 or other Walther pistols. The P.38 is a favorite gun: They were made by 3 manufacturers during the war years. All are interesting in their own right.
The No.2 Enfield revolver is certainly interesting enough. The standard "tankers" version has a bobbed hammer while the older unmodified version is classic SA/DA configuration. Very mild gun to shoot and it uses the old .38 S&W cartridge (not .38 special).
Never owned a Nambu. Wish I had back when they were cheap. Getting ammo is strictly online specialty thing today.
The Nagant revolver is just plain weird. They work well enough thought the DA pull takes heroic Soviet grip of steel to pull thru. Prices on them have reached stupid levels as well. Its a good, though not great gun. For the money I'd opt for a Tokarev TT33 semi myself. Oh wait, I already have!

Re: WW II PISTOLS
Success !!! Managed to find a gem at the oaks show . Beretta M1934 Blank slide serial G008xx , markings RE ( Regio Esercito) Italian Army and has the 4UT oval stamp . I was Looking for a M 1935 but could not pass this one up .
From what I read blank slides were only made from August -Sept in *43 due to Mussolini being deposed , because Beretta didn*t want to put he Facist stamps on them . Please note the slide is completely blank on both sides no caliber markings either .

Italy deposed Il Duce in 1943, but he continued to lead a pro Nazi movement in an Italy that fractured into Pro and Anti Fascist armies fighting on both sides of the conflict. Many Italians in fact went over to the Allied side (look up the Italian Service Units) which supported Allied forces until war's end.
Those blank slide M1934s were a typical late war expediency to save manufacturing time. Personally I'd love one of those neat little pistols myself, though I'd rather get one of the .32 acp ones and would want one made in peacetime when manufacturing standards were better.
Mussolini himself was captured and executed in 1945.
