The "byf" marking indicates your P38 was actually made by Mauser. Serial numbers ran in blocks of 10000. After the number 10000 was reached the number sequence was repeated but with an "a" suffix added. Subsequently when each block of 10000 was completed the suffix incremented to the next letter, "b", "c", "d", etc. Your suffix is "p". The "43" normally would mean the pistol was made in 1943, however your serial number implies the pistol was made in January 1944, apparently with a leftover 43 dated slide.
You have not provided enough information to give an accurate opinion of value. Does it have matching serial numbers? Has it been reblued? Condition is all important when considering value. Some use the grading scale of excellent, very good, good, fair and poor. Assuming yours is "good", that is has matching serial numbers and original finish, I would speculate your's may be worth in the neighborhood of $450 to $500.
If you would like a more comprehensive opinion on value, I suggest you post your question with pictures on p38forum.com.

What is the value of a stamp with the dates 1923 and 1948 on it perhaps for the queens wedding?
Sounds like the Silver Wedding stamps for King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, later the Queen Mother.
They were printed in large numbers, so they would not be a sought-after issue.
I think there was a fleet of them, so the higher denominations would fetch more, certainly in mint condition. The full set might be of interest to collectors.
I would guess there were special issues for the Commonwealth countries. Maybe the Jamaican or Tanganiyikan set would be a novelty.
