A "P38" and a "Lugar" are two different semi-auto 9mm pistols produced by Germany during the 1st half of the 20th century. The Lugar was standard issue in the Germany Army in WWI and the P38 was standard issue in WWII. Both used the same ammunition.
Addition:
The 9 x 19 mm cartridge fired by both the P38 and P08 (Luger) is popularly referred to as the 9mm Luger. The writer above is correct about the German military issue. However, the P38 is still manufactured by Walther, and is the current military sidearm of 9 countries. $500 to $700 us dollors less in Canada $400 to $600 these pistols were mainly bring backs from ww2.
as with all items price depends on condition. what condition is the finish, grips, bore. any rust/pitts. who made it. what is the date. is it matching ?
A mint condition German Luger pistol, dated 1936 or later, is worth anywhere from $1,500-$3,000 (USD).
Minimum 500 if it is a shooter with non-matching numbers. Could be much more...into the thousands. Original holsters 50-250. Again, depends on condition, how rare. Take to a reputable gun dealer for appraisel. Look at cabellas.com for retail values or auctionarms.com
Try Ralph Shattuck's web site. It is no exaggeration to say they can range from100-10000 USD
Well to a pawn shop 200-215 dollars
Atleast $700
e-gunparts.com, gunbroker.com, or auctionarms.com might have them.
The World Wars happened in Europe and parts of North Africa.
you can find some parts like a new or used bolt assm. or parts matching the carbine from brownnells.com or cheaperthandirt.com but sorry no luck finding a new pistol stock. (if you do buy a bolt for it make sure you buy the right one there's two types, a flat, and a round and you must use the same type)
To many parts of the world, including other European countries and North America.
Because the rest of the world plays soccer.
Roughly $900-$1200, depending on markings, condition, and matching parts/ correct magazine, etc.
check top of the luger. you should see: byf(mauser), suhl, erfurt, or DWM. those are the different makers
try: lugerforum.com
value depends on overall condition. your mauser COULD be worth $900-$1200
Value of ANY firearm, but ESPECIALLY Lugers, will depend on EXACT condition and EXACT model. Values may start at $800 for the more common models in very good condition, and go up from there. This will really need a hands-on assesment by someone that knows Lugers.

No, the 1918 is the date of manufacture of that particular gun. The serial number has more digits, likely five or six. If yours is a "matching Luger" then that means that the gun still has all of the original parts. You can tell this by looking for a two digit number on almost all of the smaller parts (toggle, barrel, barrel extension, trigger, trigger plate, bolt, etc). This number should be the same on all the parts and is the last two digits of the main serial number that is on the frame somewhere. If it is a completely matching Luger, then the magazine number will also match. Most of them don't, however. Most military lugers have between 2 and 4 numbers for the serial. some commercial lugers have up to five number serial.
It is a line of symmetry.
The Blackhawk Holster, which is regarded by many gun owners as a very well constructed holster for speed shooting can be found at most gun shops. The prices range from between 30USD to 300USD depending the level of customization required as well as add on parts.
Depends on condition & whether all major parts have the same serial number stamped on it & when in 1943 it was produced. A poor example with non matching serial numbers can go for 300.00 or so. A pristine example with 98-100 % finish, matching serial numbers etc can go for 800.00 or more. A WW2 P38 holster can add 100-200 to the price.
