Zero. Ruger never made the P38.
Ruger never made a model called the P38.
about as much as your mother is to me!
A few hundred to multiple thousands of USD depending on EXACTLY what you have.
although a P38 fires the same ammo as a Luger (9mm) it is not a Luger. It is a double action pistol that replaced the luger before wars end.......value of P38 can be checked by going to 'gunsamerica.com' and scroll or seek P38...................
The P38 was manufactured during wartime, when simpler, less expensive ways of manufacturing things were sought out. Chrome lining - especially on a pistol barrel - would've been highly unlikely on a P38. If you have such a pistol, what you probably have is a postwar P1 pistol (aluminum slide, rather than steel), or else a P38 with a postwar P1 barrel swapped in.
Hands-on appraisal by a firearms dealer who specialises in Curio & Relic firearms is the best course to go.
Mauser was located in Oberndorf Germany.

It would reduce it. The only way a P38 would have a chrome lined barrel would be as a result of aftermarket work, or by swapping in a postwar P1 barrel, which would reduce its value for having mismatched parts.
