pgevans54

I have just acquired a Walther P38...Wondering if someone could help me date and appraise it with this information...
Left side: Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do
P38 Cal.9mm 818
003818 W9.72

Right side: 11/62 CAI GEORGIA VT.
Germany
W3.75 (Two symbols stamped, hard to tell what they are)

Front, just below barrel (Two sybols stamped, again, hard to tell what they are)

This gun is in emaculate condition...No rust or scratches anywhere...
Thanks in advance for any information...Paul J Nagy

I am looking for info and an approximate value on a P38 a friend of mine acquired quite a few years ago.

The pistol is an AC41 and has matching numbers on the barrel, frame, and the clip. It is complete with what looks to be its original holster, cleaning rod, and an extra clip, (numbers on extra clip are different from the others).

The pistol is in very good to excellent condition with the only wear to the blue finish is a light fade where it made contact with the holster (while being carried ???).

Any help anyone can provide would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Charlie

Hi I just bought a walther p38 dated 1939. I read online that the 1939 models have a 0 in front of the serial number but mine is just 1171. Also the only stamp on the mag is jvd is this a original mag. Thanks

I have a Walther P38 I'd like to sell. It has a serial number of 4913 W on various parts of the gun and to the right of "P38" the letters "byf" with the number "44" underneath. It has a couple of other stamps "WaA135" with what looks like some kind of bird sitting on a small circular Nazi symbol. I could upload some pictures if need be. The gun comes in it's original leather case stamped "P38" with an extra clip. Any info at all would be appreciated!
Thank you!

I recently came into possesion of a Walther P38 ac 43. From the looks of it the original owner had the thing nickel platted. That probably ruined the value of the gun. The gun looks hardly shot at all, the nickel job is very good and all of the serial numbers match. A local dealer told me since it was not original he was forced to rate it as Fair and would only give me $160 for it. Does this sound right?

Need a good deal more info and good pictures to try to evaluate. Are the numbers matched? Has any refinishing been done? Does it have a holster, period correct spare mag, etc? The AC code is Walther manufacturer and, of course, 43 is year made. One the front of the frame below the barrel should be a serial number and a series code letter.

All the numbers match, the finish is original (very good) one mag, no holster. There is no series code letter, but it is a series 1, no bump around trigger pivot. I will try and take some pictures and post.

Have pictures, but I believe they cannot be attached.

We might have different definitions on "very good"
