German P-38
Hey guys
I could use some information on a pistol.

It is a German P-38 that has all matching serial #-s on it.

The # is 2xxx and was wondering when it was made , at what plant and what it might be worth. I also have a German boot dagger also from WWII.

Thanks Don

If your pistol is a wartime manufacture it will have a letter code and a date on it ,the date may be 2 digits such as "42" ,there were 3 manufacturing plants if I recall and probably a heap of subcontractors .It will be either "ac" which is Carl Walther, Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia,or, "cyq" which is Metallwarenfabrik Spreewerk, Berlin-Spandau and "byf" which is Mauser-Werke KG, Oberndorf on the Neckar

Hope this helps
Pete
