I paid $400 for a decent-looking post-war aluminum frame model a few years ago. If anyone has any written in stone information on the history of the pistol as well as the approximate value a feller would expect to pay if he saw one sitting on a gunshow table, It would be appreciated. There seems to be conflicting information on the internet. The barrel block also has an eagle over waa135. From what I can tell, the grips are not numbered. On the left side of the frame it has a stamp that looks like a clover leaf and it also has "BH" stamped as well. It also has a star on the right side next to an eagle over waa 135. It has German waffanampts on the slide and frame. The serial number is 1254G and all the serial numbers match on the frame and slide. It has SVW 45 marks on a few different places including the slide and frame. The gun is in excellent condition with a really nice blueing that looks to be original. I was hoping a Walther guru could give me an idea of what I had as far as history and value. I know guns, but I am not an expert in WWII German guns. He had $400.00 on it and since I have never owned a WWII P-38, I put it on layaway. It caught my attention mostly because it had metal grips instead of the bakelite looking grips on most p-38's I have seen. While I was waiting to talk to the smith, I noticed a P-38 in the case. I recently took a gun down to one of the few gunsmiths in Michigan who do a good job at drilling and tapping Mauser receivers.
