Hm.... I want to share with you this beautiful walther p38 with stamps and matching numbers, it was still in holster and good preserved.

I hope you like it!

Wow. Like it a lot.
Can we see the holster, please?

Do you who made it and when? the codes and date are on the slide, assuming it is readable. I suspect it is a mauser manufactured one. (BYF coded)

**JeZoCoH** · 06-06-2012, 04:49 PM

The code is BYF 43 7134h

Nice,, so a Mauser made P38 manufactured in 1943. Looks to be in decent shape from the areas you cleaned. Thank you for the information. Here are the codes for the manufacturers for P38's,,

ac is Walther, they will usually a date stamped on the slide.
BYF is Mauser, They always have a date code on the slide.
CYQ is made by Spreewerke, no date stamp at all.

Hope that is a help to you, Regards, Jeff T.

I want to share with you some finds from today.

The finds are amazing! You have a serious amount of luck in finding pistols?
Also seem to find so few people finding small arms on here?
Very impressive!
