Marcus, you have a standard Mauser built military P.38. The serial number is 928s and no, it isn't a Porsche!!! Your pistol was completed in about February 1944. The tri-plane is really an eagle and the two extreme marks (E/WaA135) are the so called Waffenamt Marks or Inspection Marks. The one in the middle (Eagle/Swastika) is the firing proof mark, which signifies the pistol successfully passed firing with a high pressure proof cartridge. The grips are standard for this year and serial number range. Fire in German is Feuer and Safety in German is Sicherheit. Pretty convenient for those that speak English!!

Hope this helps!!
