The Walther P38 was developed in Germany by Carl Walther as a service pistol to replace the Luger P08. Design of the P38 began in 1938 at the beginning of WW2 and production started in 1939. The Walther P38 in my possession is marked (AC)43, AC being Walther’s letter code and 43 the year it was made. Walther initially used a number code to mark their pistols, but later switched to a letter system.
Today’s P38 is the P1 built with modern alloys and a lightweight design, but displaying the same engineering as the original P38.
