The P08 "Luger" pistol in .45 cal. was made in limited quantities for US trials, along with a VERY few others for civilian sales (including a couple of known shoulder-stocked carbines-super rare!!).

As to the P-38, yes, the 1939 Stoeger catalog (printed in 1938), stated that the H P M1938 would be available in .38 Super, 9MM, .22LR and .45 ACP. As far as I have seen personally, yes, as I spotted a "not-for-sale" H P (Heeres Pistole/"Army Pistol"), M1938 (thus "P-38), in a glass case at a gun show back in 1978 that was indeed in .45 ACP caliber (I examined and handled the gun myself). As it turns out, World War Two put a bit of a crimp in civilian production exports, so durned few were ever made. It's my understanding that the 38 Supers and .22's of the period are just as scarce.

Hope this helps.
