I assume it has the AC43 marking? Even though this is a very common P38, originality and condition are the key to value. If you can send digital photos from all angles, with closeups of all markings, we can pinpoint current resale value pretty closely. sales@countrygunsmith.net
Of course this is a question up to great debate...I must say, because I really believe he stands out (especially because he started as a violist), LAWRENCE POWER is not only the leading violist, but an incredible musician. He's not just a "soloist," he's also a great chamber musician (Nash Ensemble and Leopold Trio). His genuine modesty is also a great trait. Runners up include other "natural" (non- pre-violin) violists like Tabea Zimmermann, Garth Knox, Paul Neubauer, and Hartmut Lindemann (who's quite inventive on his recordings). And other great soloist/chmaber musicians include Kim Kashkashian (also an incredible teacher), Yuri Bashmet, Nobuko Imai, Barbara Westphal, and Lars Anders Tomter, and Thomas Riebl. Historically great violists (great violist 1930-1980) include, of course, William Primrose and Lionel Tertis, as well as Walter Trampler, Emanuel Vardi, Bruno Giuranna (who's still vivacious and active as a performer and teacher!)---plus many more! Amazing quartet violists are not hard to come by, but a few that stick out: Martha Katz ( early Cleveland Quartet), Michael Tree (Guarneri Quartet), James Dunham (late Cleveland Quartet), Thomas Kakuska (Alban Berg Quartet), Gabor Ormai (early Takacs Quartet), Roger Tapping (middle Takacs), Peter Schidolf (Amadeus Quartet), Lawrence Dutton (Emerson Quartet) Richard Young (Vermeer Quartet), Masumi Per Rostad (Pacifica Quartet), Phillip Ying (Ying Quartet)...and sooo many more! Great young/rising soloists include Jennifer Stumm (a natural violist), Maxim Rysanov, Antoine Tamestit, David Aaron Carpenter, Richard "Yongjae" O'Neill, Dmitri Murrath, David Kim, Nils Monkemeyer, and numerous others---there's so much new talent out there. Notable orchestral principal violists: Robert Vernon (Cleveland Orchestra), Wolfram Christ (former-Berlin Philharmonic). Roberto Diaz (former Philadelphia Orchestra), Joseph DePasquale (former Boston Symphony/Philadelphia Orchestra), Cynthia Phelps (New York Philharmonic), Geraldine Walther (San Francisco--now Takacs Quartet) and many others. Other notable soloists/chamber musicians: Paul Coletti, Carol Rodland, Toby Appel, Ettore Causa, Hsin-Yun Huang, Misha Amory, Philip Dukes, Helen Callus, Tatjana Masurenko, Roger Chase, Gilad Karni, and, of course, numerous others. Not many of these great violists would have made it to where they are without the help of some of the finest teachers---of course, many of the violists above are also exceptional teachers, here are some more wonderful pedagogues of the last thirty years (also incredible violists!): Karen Tuttle, Heidi Castleman, Donald McInnes, Roland Vamos, Jeffrey Irvine, Lynne Ramsey, William Preucil, Sr, David Takeno, Jean Sulem, Karen Ritscher, David Holland, Lillian Fuchs, and many others. Of course!!!! many amazing violists have been left out...hopefully others will round-out the list. These are just the ones who came to my mind the soonest. Other great switch-hitters (violin --> viola) include Pinchas Zukerman, Jaime Laredo, Shlomo Mintz, and a few others.

I have a Walther PP, i cant remember from which year but it cost me around 800 dollars, Mine was nazi made and they never put swastikas on them, there is an eagle mark on it which tells you it is nazu
MOD P-38 are reported starting with Serial 24093 and ending with 25812. Approximately 1800 were produced and all were marked Crown over N. This designates they were manufactured for commercial sale and not military use.
According to one source online, if the eagle is looking over its right shoulder, it stand for the nazi party, if over the left shoulder, it stand for the country. I have a P38 9mm Pistol made by Walther in 1943 for the Luftwaffe and the eagle over the swastika is looking over his right shoulder. Hope that helps.
