I acquired this at the last Pgh. gun show. A very nice looking all matching pistol with soft holster and extra mag.
Thanks for looking,
Joe

Very nice. Are the mags marked?

Just marked P38

Is it an "AC" Code date?

Nice P-38, I like that holster. I have a repro of that for my 1962 P-38

It appears to be. With a 43 date code, it could only be AC or BYF.

It is a 1943 Walther P38 and all parts are matching. The holster is 44marked on the back. Mags are just P38 marked. I paid 725 which I consider a fair price considering the" condition" + holster+extra mag.

I think you did well. I sold a plain CYQ a few months back for $1100. It was in comparable condition.

Regarding the mags, they should also be marked "E / 359" on the spine. E/135 are for Mauser and E/88 are Spreewerk. There was also another code, that was also for CYQ.

Jim, You are correct. They are both marked 359 on the spine along with a proof mark (Walther).

Win, that other code (I think) is JVD

Well that one is one that's on the side which refers to the maker. What was I thinking of is in the link, the inspector aka the waffenamt code, WaA706.
