1961 P.38 Almost New In Box
« on: March 25, 2021, 09:28:25 PM »
All - I have a September, 1962 P.38 which is all but new in box.  On the right side there are two small mars in the finish.  Very light “Interarms” import mark on right side.  Cleaning tool, test target (Jan 8, 1962), and owners manual in original box.

Question 1 - Is there anything particularly interesting about this pistol?

Question 2 - I thought post-war P.38s were labeled P.1, P.2, etc.  Clearly I was wrong.  When did the P.1 label begin?

Question 3 - What dollar value range would you expect?

Thank you,

JGW

I would suggest posting on the P38 forum as it is a Walther, not a Mauser. You may want to provide the caliber as these were available in 9mm, .30 luger & .22 and that will effect valuation. You could also try GunValuesBoard as forums that are geared for discussion sometimes will avoid providing values.

Good grief.  Yes, it’s a Walther and I’m an idiot!


I bought a handful of pistols from an estate, and as I’ve tried to learn more about them I have joined and posted on various forums.  Why I posted a a Walther here .... who knows!
