Hello, I am a new member, and I am seeking assistance in evaluating a P38 pistol that my father gave me. The serial number is "9917 n ac 43", which I understand was manufactured by Walther in 1943. I have attached a number of photos for your view. I could only post 5 here, but I have several others. Thanks a bunch for any information on value that you can provide. Thanks. P.S. I am not interested in selling the gun; I am only interested in evaluating it.
Please Help Me Evaluate A P38 Pistol

No. No holster found, no papers or provenance (that I know of, but I will be sure to search for them). Are there any other locations where a serial number would be stamped? I found them on the frame, barrel assembly, slide, & locking block. Wondering if there's a 'hidden' serial number, such as the one stamped on the firing pin of the P08 Luger.

Malfunctioning P38

With the safety on, I can rack the slide, release, and the hammer stays in the back position. But the trigger does not reset. So when I move...- 2
