I have a Walther P38 that I was trying to do some research on a few years ago but I remember running into a dead end. The backstory to this pistol is that it belonged to my great-grandfather who kept it in his glove compartment when he was CoP in Brewer, ME (in the 1950s). He didn't serve in WWII, so he didn't bring it back himsel (his son - my grandfather was in WWII, but before he died he denied bringing it back). Free download game battle city tank 1990 for pc. 
You can see from the pictures that someone named Jim Fry has etched his name and serial number on the slide and grips with a 1944 on the other side of the grips.
I have a Walther P38 with a serial number of 7314n. My question is when and where was this made? I've seen lists of suffix codes but none are the 'n' code. Any info on when and where this was produced would be helpfull. Oct 12, 2013 - Join Date: Oct 2013. Excellent German Walther P1 P38 Pistol 9mm: Semi Auto Pistols at GunBroker.com. Is it a serial number thing?
Inside of the grips someone else has also scratched his name and serial number - William Cymot. Neither of these two names was known to my family by the time I was old enough to ask about them (great granddad died before I was born). I can't find any of the 'ac' or 'cyq' or other marking on the gun, but then again I don't know where to look for them. The serial numbers all match and the number on the frame is followed by an eagle with an 'N' underneath it (I don't think you can see it in my camera phone photography). Here are the pictures: I would love to know the date of manufacture of this gun. I'd also like to hear people's opinions on whether it would increase the value or decrease it to have the names removed (replace the grips, refinish the gun) - I know the general rule of thumb on guns is not to refinish, but these seem like pretty egregious markings.
I don't know how I would ever feel about selling it - it's not really a family heirloom or anything. Nobody but me ever really gave a crap about it (I did shoot several thousand rounds through it when I was a teenager - I recently shot it and it still runs like a champ), and, to be honest, I'm not overjoyed about having anything that resembles WWII German stuff in my house. But at the end of the day I'll probably keep it - I'd just be curious as to how much it is worth and where and when it came from.
I think it's a post war gun, too, but I think it has grips from an older P38 on it. I just can't figure out why someone would carve his name and 1944 into the gun if he hadn't brought it back from WWII - it also seems coincidental there are two names both with their service numbers on the gun. That's the only reason I was hesitant to just call it a post war gun. I did look at that other forum but I am having a hard time finding the date information and honestly, I'm just not interested enough to register and post there in order to find this information. What they said, leave her as is. Just keep her clean and lubed. Rather a honest 'ugly duckling' than a shiny turd My ugliest Luger turned out to be very rare.
She's a '42' Mauser Banner commercial in the 'w' block which is not uncommon, but she's in.30 Luger instead of 9mm which makes her to be one out of only 5 reported world wide. She spent over 40 years in a holster, hidden in someones attic, before I rescued her from a dealer. Both he and I didn't know about her specifics until after I bought her. I'm definitely going to leave it as is. I'll bring it out once a year or so just to shoot it because I can't resist.
