    P0838-What a shame: a choice collectible altered and it's value sharply decreased. What you have WAS a fine collectible. It's now just a shooter. I would put a value of $250-275 on this altered pistol and horsewhip the person who ruined it!

    Luger01. The notch was done by Walther and was standard issue at the beginning of the war

    I have to admit that in all my years I have never seen that factory modification nor read about it. I've collected many Walthers, too.If this is a factory modification, then it's pretty rare and I'd say it's worth well above the book value for a mint PP, probably in the $700-$1000 range. Maybe someone else here knows about this modification and can put a better value on the pistol.
