I just aquired a Walther P38,have'nt shot it yet but looks to be in pretty good shape and wondering the value of it.This model has the loop for a lanyard and came with 3 mags,I think one mag came with it originally.On the left side of the slide it has markings that says Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do P38 9mm 493 with the serial number a bit lower and on the other side it has 12/61.I'm tapping into the extensive brain trust here for info,thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

If it has a steel frame it is a post war P-1, that could make the 12/61 marking a manufacture or rebuild date.

A 61 date would be prewar of course but with a steel frame. The P-1 has a alunimium frame.

SOG has the WWII all steel P38 for $449.00

The "war" ended in 45, I think you meant POST war ;D
And I messed up in my first post, If it has an ALUMINUM frame it is a post war P-1, the prewar and wartime P-38's had steel frames.
I'm shocked that no one else caught that in the 4 days since I posted.

Remember the most important thing Tim, Gloves prevent rope burns when you are hoisting heavy objects.
Like say, Barney Frank. ;D
