Hello all,
I too have a P-38 that looks just like this one but it is a 1945.(must be Hitler's personal gun HA.) It's a #8815b Walther with all matching numbers, but whoever did this nickel job must have put grease or something to keep the nickel off on parts of the slide as it is not nickeled all over. What I mean is that it was nickeled in certain places on outside of slide but not on inside or at front of slide.Parts of frame is the same(this is not due to wear as the gun was left in a gun safe in 1955 till now).The gun is made of regular gun steel, but may or may not have been blued(must have been striped) Cool gun, has not been fired since 1955 and barrel is in mint condtion. I was told that NO guns were nickled during the war so this must have been done when he brought it back as the gun does not have import marks on it. I was told the gun is worth about $500 so I better sell it on e-bay as I need
$5000.00(HA,HA) [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

Just my .02 cents

Thanks
