The blueing does not look right. may have been reblued or a "Heers Pistole". (made for non military market during WW2)

"waffen inspection marks and was assembled in 1943"

Was it made by Walther, Mauser, or Spreewerk, and were any parts made by FN and have a eagle over 140

Welcome to the P38 Web Site....

I have a ultra rare Spreewerk with a FN frame and matching ser#s.

Daddy brought one and this Dreyse back from Germany after the War. I got the Dreyse and my brother got the P38. Never was sure if I made the right choice, but the other day, I found the release certificate, so I guess it was meant to be either way. The P38 was a good shooter though. Still have the leather holsters. If my brother would ever stop by to see me, I'd happily give him the one for his. I envy close families. I guess that's why I hang around here so much. Boy, have I digressed.

That's an excellent piece! I have that exact type too, Walther P38, 1943 dated and Waffenhampt marked as well. My grandfather bought it from a man who brought it back.

Really nice looking! That would complement any collection very well. I wish I still owned that Russian Makarov I had. But sadly, that was the ex-wife's pistol. Wasn't my place to tell her she couldn't take her pistol with her.
