    Thumbs up Need help identifying 4 Nazi pistol markings, P-08 and P-38

    I hope everyone is off to a great new year!

    I would appreciate help identifying markings on some pistols my dad has. He has 2 P-08’s and 2 P-38’sfrom WWII. He has had them for decades and they are numbers matching. They arenot for sale, but I’d like to know more specifics on them like what the markings mean and current market value for insurance purposes. Here is a link to some pics:

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    You have one P-38 made in 1941 by Walther marked AC 41. The other P-38 was made by Mauser in 1944 marked BYF 44. The Walther PPK is a real nice one but without seeing the serial number I cannot date it. One Luger being an S42 was made in 1936 by Mauser before the Nazi requirements went into effect in 1939 if I remember right. It was what have been called a sneak gun to stay within the requirements of the WW1 treaty. The other Luger also made by Mauser and made in 1941 marked BYF 41 stamped. All of these firearms are in excellent condition and are well taken care of. Your dad has done a great job of that. They are worth quite a bit of money just because of their condition.

    Value wise the P-38's I would say a value for insurance would be $1500 each. The Lugers because of condition I would say minimum of $2000 each and the PPk if it's WW2 at $1500 with the case minimum.

    Your photos of the 2 PPKs are not good at all! You fail to clearly show all of the markings on either gun! From what I can see I think both are post war, But??? (A clear photo of the other side of both would also be useful!) If so the value is considerably less than the $1500 quoted previously.

    Yes, unfortunately, I didn't realize the pics of the other sides were blurry until I got home. Will be some time, before I get back to my Dad's to take pics of the other sides again. But, thanks for all the info so far !!!
