E-mail the two or three letter code to me and I can tell you which company made it.
send me the serial number and I might be able to tell you when it was made..............

value depends on overall condition and WHEN it was made (based on serial number).... Also, WWII Nazi-proofed (Waffenamt stamped) PPK's will generally demand a higher price.
Walther is a German company. However, some Walther pistols have been made in France and in US by Smith and Wesson under license.
There are serial number tables that have been published.
You will need to contact Walther to find out.

Your question does not include if there are any german military markings associated with this P-38 pistol.That being said and the high serial number,I would assume that it was made after 1945.It could be made by Walther any time there after.You may want to contact Walther directly and see if their customer service dept may be of some help.
