Hi all, I have this P38 (deactivated due to UK law) serial number 1282W and I have always wondered about the markings all over it. The p38 marking looking really poorly done and the serials are all wonky. Was this an end of the war p38 or perhaps postwar French? Any help would be hugely...

OK guys, looks like I’ve just found a jewel in my local surplus shop - all matching Walther P38 (ac42), “d” block = May of 1942. It has a few scratches on the slide but still retains 96-97% of its blueing. Bore is 8/10 (pics attached), not perfect but rifling is pretty good, with some very light...

Like the title says, what are the best Walther P38 magazines for 50 dollars and under? I have an original one but would like to have an extra.

Hey y'all, I got a pretty ok condition P38 from an auction a while ago and I've been wanting to take it out to the range to test fire it. But the front sight blade is offset and I have no idea how to fix it. Someone recommended that I use a wood mallet to hammer it back into alignment but I'm...

Can anyone tell me what these markings are? I’m pretty sure they are import marks but I can’t tell what kind if they are? This is the best picture I have right now.

I want a WW2 P38. What are some places where I can get a fairly good collectible one for under 1300? I would prefer it to be in fairly good condition, with matching numbers, and have a serviceable bore. Is this unreasonable given my budget? I don't have many gun shows near me, which takes that...

Hello everyone. This is my first post and honestly my first inquiry about an firearm in general. I recently inherited a walther p38 from my grandfather. It was in his will and I had no clue about it. I been doing some research but I figure the best way to figure out what I'm holding in my hands...

I know it was made Sep 1981 and refurbished Oct 1998 in Doberlug-Kirchhain and used by the Bundeswehr. I have questions though, like why is there a circle next to the Bw? Why are there circles elsewhere? Why are the serials one number off? Why does Mag B not have the markings but does have red...

Hello, I recently bought this at my local Pawn shop and wanted help identifying the marks on the pistol and the holster. It seems all the serial numbers match. From my limited research it seems this may be a Swedish HP. But I wanted to ask the experts. Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately I'm a 75-year old computer dumbo, so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, sorry. I'm in Canada and in legal possession of a pre-WW2 PPK 7.65. Canada's gun laws are ridiculous so I can only use it at a government-registered firing range. It was inherited from my Dad who...

I'm from Northern Michigan and new to Walther guns. Inherited a GI bring back P38 recently and have done a bunch of digging into the history and manufacturing. It's pretty fascinating and cool. Looking forward to learning more about WWII era Walthers.

Shortly before my father passed he showed me a few new guns he'd recently purchased. One of which was this P38 GI bring back. I have been digging up information on P38s in general but was having a hard time finding any matching serial numbers for the time period. I finally found one place with...

Attached (hopefully) are photos of an old P-38 holster my wife pulled out of a closet. Looking closely, the inside flap is marked “bdr 44” with an Eagle over a symbol and another line of stamped print (difficult to decipher); but, looks like “WaA80” (or WaA3G, or WaA30) below it. I purchased...

Hello everyone I bought a mismatched CYQ Spreewerke P38 as an entry into these interesting pistols. I was hoping to learn more about it from the knowledge people have here. It was sold to me as a 1940 mismatched CYQ with no obvious refurbishment. I am happy with the price I paid here in Canada...

Hello all, I picked up this p38 nearly 6 years ago now and I am only just trying to figure out the markings. All the fonts seems to be of poor quality which made me think it might be a end of war type but I have no clue. I have tried to research it but have come up with nothing. Any help would...

While searching for a ZF4 scope on an Auction House's site, I saw a listing for a Walther P38 barrel with a suppressor on it. The only information I can find is from the auction house's description (translated from German): "Caliber 9 mm Luger, No. 585a, No. without, S / N on the bolt. Matt...

Picked this up today just because the curiosity about it was killing me. It's a Spreewerk, serial 6070 u, which indicates a 1942 manufacture date. It has the "88" certification stamp as well as the Nazi Eagle, but more curiously it's sporting what appears to be the "defect" starburst marm and a...

I recently traded for this pistol and don’t know much about it any information would be greatly appreciated

I have done as much research as i can for this gun. i know it is was manufactured in NOV 1943 in Spreewerk. It appears to be all matching, but when i removed the grips i found a stamp that doesnt make sense to me. https://imgur.com/a/ouktlV6 Any idea what this is? Does it have meaning, or did...
