The letter "A" after the five-digit serial # means that it is a .380 caliber made in France betwee 1954 and 1985. The numbers assigned to the French Co. (Manurhin) were 12003A-78148A. You should be able to place your pistol in this range and determine the approximate date of manufacture.

This would be an estimate, but they started with about 750,000 serial number in 1929, got to about 1,000,000 by late 1930, then started PP serials at 100,000 to 350,000. So the only option for yours is 1929-1930, probably 1929.

Sorry- but we would need more information to answer. Since 1935 the PP was made in Germany, then France, then two different companies in the US. Many of the guns could be dated by a 2 letter prefix to the serial number. The most recent, made by S&W under license can be dated by calling S&W customer service. We just do not have enough info to get you a good answer- sorry-

A Walther PP #330713P was made in 1943, and #359712P was made in 1944. So somewhere in that time frame.

Walther used a 2 letter code stamped on the gun. Letters A-K (no letter J ) corresponded to 0 thru 9. 1967 would be JH for example.
