Mauser was located in Oberndorf Germany.
The P38 was manufactured during wartime, when simpler, less expensive ways of manufacturing things were sought out. Chrome lining - especially on a pistol barrel - would've been highly unlikely on a P38. If you have such a pistol, what you probably have is a postwar P1 pistol (aluminum slide, rather than steel), or else a P38 with a postwar P1 barrel swapped in.
The Date is located on the slide of the pistol. Look for a code such as "AC41" or "BYF40". The alpha characters are the manufacturer's codes, and the two-digit numbers are the years (i.e. 41=1941). I think AC is Walther and BYF is Mauser.
value is based on condition. the P38 is not considered a luger. it merely fires the same 9mm shell. go to: GUNSAMERICA.COM look up the P38 and check prices

the value of any item depends on condition and description of the item. you do not state if your pistol is the P38 model or luger model or some other model. always provide all information on the side and top of any firearm............
Zero. Ruger never made the P38.
Two. Walther and Mauser
A few hundred to multiple thousands of USD depending on EXACTLY what you have.
although a P38 fires the same ammo as a Luger (9mm) it is not a Luger. It is a double action pistol that replaced the luger before wars end.......value of P38 can be checked by going to 'gunsamerica.com' and scroll or seek P38...................

Hands-on appraisal by a firearms dealer who specialises in Curio & Relic firearms is the best course to go.

not unusual to have a different /wrong holster with a pistol. in wartime things do get mixed up. Or, someoen bought the pistol then later bought th holster for it. The reason for the non match....................
