    I have a 1962 manufactured Walther P38, all matching numbers with original leather holster. This was a civilian import not a surplus gun and has very little wear on it or the holster. Comes with one P38 and one P1 magazine. The weapon is tight, springs are great, weapon fires smoothly with 115gr ball ammo. Rifling is in great shape. Overall, this weapon looks and feels like a well kept 5 year old piece instead of a 56 year old piece. All markings are P38, and aside from one of the two magazines, there are no P1 markings. Manufacture date on the pistol is 10/1962, holster is 8/1962. This is a great collector's piece or shooter. I've put 50 rounds of lead ball through it, and the guy I got it from said it was barely shot while he had it.

    Looking for: CZ 75 or clone. 1911 (.45 or 9mm). Ruger or similar .22lr semi auto pistol, will definitely consider other full metal, hammer fired 9mm autos (just never liked striker guns, da/SA preferred, but sao is fine). Looking for something to take to the range and also something to teach the wife to shoot with.

    Trade Value: Aprox $500
    Cash: $500

    PM with any questions.

    You’ll need to add a value price even if it’s for trade.

    For those that don’t know, this pistol was imported by the man who got Castro to honor a deal with cash. It’s too bad I love my 941 compact because I’ve got a p38 shaped hole in my life.

    Per forum rules you need to have a cash/trade value.
    Thanks, JW

    Thought I satisfied that with the comment of what it was worth on GunBroker and such, but I'll edit.

    That's an estimate not a price you're asking for. Thanks again...

    Yes, Samuel Cummings was a 'Lord of War'...

    It's really hard to put a true monetary price on it, as that could vary depending on the buyer for old weapons like this. There's a lot of P1's out there, most are surplus or police guns and aside from matching numbers and tightness, identical. Some (like more modern variants) have features that improve upon the design. What I'm looking for can range from 400-whatever. Value is based more on perception to the owner than anything else, and considering I don't want to SELL it, the value is another firearm. I've seen the same one I have go for as much as 2600 and as low as 500 on GunBroker, many of them going for more than some of the WW2 models.

    Nah, no remorse here. It's a great weapon, I just prefer something I don't feel guilty firing. It's in superb condition with very little wear and it's worth more in that condition. Besides, I want to get something that is more comfortable for my wife to shoot. If I can get her into having fun at the range, then I get to go to the range more often and she won't question ammo purchases as much.

    Also would be interested in a Bersa 9mm, Rick island 1911 (.45 or 9mm) or a good .22lr pistol.
