    Default Walther P38

    So I always have trouble trying to figure out the value of P38's ! I am looking at one, seems to be in nice shape, all matching, waffens, etc.. It's a Walther P38 ac 43. Surprised it only has a 3 digit serial number - maybe not that unusual ? So what's it worth ?

    Depends does it have import marks and is it all origional? I would break it down and inspect the internals. If all checks out and the bore is good then it's going to be a $700.00 on the low side to 1k on the high side at auction depending on condition origional mags and orig holster. Walther's are the most valuable with Sperrwerks the least deseriable.

    Yes you will see some go for much more on gunbroker sometimes but it doesn't mean that's what they are worth. I picked up a mint bring back spreewerks a few months back for $525.00 locally. Which is about $75.00 less then what it should sell for. I've seen Spreewerks sell for what Walthers should go for on GB most likely by ignorant buyers.

    Yes, all matching. One mag seems to be correct. No holster. Can get it sub $700 so was thinking about it. I have one already, but this one is in a little better shape.

    Terrible deal. Pass on it, but let me know where it is so I can make sure the seller doesn't try to rip anyone else off.
