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

The model P38, there is no other model
The Luger P08 (Pistole-Parabellum 1908) was the standard German sidearm up until the introduction of the Walther P38 in 1938. The Luger was the more common to be issued to officers up until its final manufacturer ceased production in 1945.
Allison. As used in the P38 Lightning for example.
You're thinking of the Luger P08 (Pistole-Parabellum 1908, named after its creator, Herr Georg L. Luger) manufactured by Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) during the early 1900's. The most typical sidearm of German officers until the introduction of the Walther P38 in the late 30's. The end of the war caused its final manufacturer, Waffenfabrik Bern, to cease production in 1945."Ruger" is, on the other hand, a current American firearms company started in 1949 Connecticut and is also named after one of its creators.
It is not known if Adolf Hitler preferred a particular gun for personal use but it is likely to be the Walther P38, a pistol popular among German army superiors. He used a 7.65mm Walther PPK to commit suicide by gunshot on 30 April 1945.
The value depends on overall condition. If you have a P38, then you don't have a luger. They both fire the 9mm luger cartridge though.
Of course! It's 9x19mm or 9mm Parabellum. The German Luger also used the 9x19mm.
Try the P38 forum.
Ruger never made a model called the P38.
9mm luger.
Yes.
The name "P38" is a slang term, and not an official name. The original P38 was the German 9mm Pistol (P) made in 1938 (38). The name was borrowed for the C-Ration opener. Still have mine on my dogtags!
value is based on condition. the P38 is not considered a luger. it merely fires the same 9mm shell. go to: GUNSAMERICA.COM look up the P38 and check prices
