I have just acquired a Walther P38...Wondering if someone could help me date and appraise it with this information...
Left side: Carl Walther Waffenfabrik Ulm/Do
P38 Cal.9mm 818
003818 W9.72

Right side: 11/62 CAI GEORGIA VT.
Germany
W3.75 (Two symbols stamped, hard to tell what they are)

Front, just below barrel (Two sybols stamped, again, hard to tell what they are)

This gun is in emaculate condition...No rust or scratches anywhere...
Thanks in advance for any information...Paul J Nagy

  I think you came to the right place. On the Gunbroker home page is a FOR SELLERS button, which should tell you just about everything you need to post an item for sale.
  
  Take a look at this auction:
  http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=229833049
  This is the same gun as yours. The seller did a great job with all the correct search words in the title, & provided a lot of bright focused photos for bidders to see. I hope that you can do as good a job with your listing.
  
  The "leather case", I'm guessing, is what we call a holster.

  The marks indicate your pistol was made by Mauser Werke in 1944. The eagle over WaA135 is the military acceptance stamp.

  I have a Walther P38 I'd like to sell. It has a serial number of 4913 W on various parts of the gun and to the right of "P38" the letters "byf" with the number "44" underneath. It has a couple of other stamps "WaA135" with what looks like some kind of bird sitting on a small circular Nazi symbol. I could upload some pictures if need be. The gun comes in it's original leather case stamped "P38" with an extra clip. Any info at all would be appreciated!
  Thank you!

  MPJ..welcome to the Forum and thanks for your question. Impossible to tell anything about condition without good photos, and condition is everything. Go over the holster with a mag glass to look for the makers mark on the back. Get us the photos and we can tell you much more about what you have.
