Walther P-38
I have a Walther P-38 "Zero" series, (1st production variation / serial number in the 1200's) I believe this pistol to be one of the very earliest test pistols manufactured in the series and I judge the finish to be about 75% TO 80% The weapon is fully functional / the mag and pistol are stamped identifyiing the pistol as Walther Waffenfabrik manufactured. All of the small parts that I can see are stamped "Eagle over 359". Can anyone out there help me to determine an approximate value of the pistol?

If your friend Stumbled onto his Dads P-38 and his dad doesn't know about this, then your friend shouldn't be worring about the history and value.
If your friend Stumbled onto his Dads P-38 and his Dad knows about this, then he should be askin his Dad about the History and Value.
Just my thoughts on your question.0 -
It was made in Germany by Mauser (code byf) during WWII (44).
Value depends upon condition, finish, replacement parts, accessories, etc., but these are not rare. If you do a Smart Search on completed Gunbroker auctions, I'm sure that you will find several in similar condition.

Add $100 for dual tone finish (combination of blue & grey parts)0
