1938 Walther PP

**JTN412** · 04-28-2017 09:12 AM

So, I just purchased a 1938 Walther PP. Pictures and description seem to dictate very good condition. Numbers are matching on the frame and the slide. I believe it is a commercial made but I haven't gotten my hands on it yet. Serial # is 285249P. I wish I could post a picture but my phone is not cooperating in sending any pictures through to my computer. I ended up paying $700 for it which included two magazines. Does anyone know of any serial number databases for PP's? Does anyone have any pictures of prewar holsters or one that would match my gun? Did I pay what the pistol is worth?

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

JNT412,
My serial no. chart indicates you PP is a 1943. If you look on the slide and the barrel you will see the proof marks are an eagle over an N. This proof mark was used from 1940 till the end of the war. If you PP was a 1938, the proof mark would be a crown over a N.
Hope this helps you in some way.
