value of a relic p-38

[Frundsberg]

In Europe P38 in good condition is around 350-500 euro, relics around 40-60 euro.

You say relic, it is a dug up rusted over, non firing pistol, or do you mean its a full operational firing pistol.

Big diff in prices, have any pics ?

A relic P-38 should cost no more than £200. For that price though I would expect some of the manufacturers markings to be visible.

battlefield damaged and lost is a story waiting to be disclosed as to what reason it has being in the ground trench hillside where ever they are found. For me its like owning a piece of whatever battlefield they are discovered on. I get a bigger charge out of handeling a relic battle damaged say helmet and thinking about what caused the say crack in the top searching the interior and finding blood stains a piece of dried skin with hair still attached in the inside part of a liner ect. This i have done. Finding a relic pistol on any battlefield is the holy grail of dig finding i believe. However bying it from someone else who bought it from and so on isnt the same. Unfortunately some of us have no choice . i cant affoard to say travel to Bastonge and dig or kursk for that matter. however ive had the pleasure of discovering american civil war relics at numerous battlefields and the camps long abandoned. So how can one put a value on a relic p38 um i think its whatever a person will pay if it makes you happy buy the dam thing.

I have to agree with Gary. If it floats your boat, sail with it. I prefer battle used finds over something mint any day. They may not be worth as much but the stories make up for that.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all academic. Without seeing at least a photo of the piece, it's impossible to say what it's worth.
