This is the 3rd old gun my dad gave me that I am trying to decide what to do with. I already have the Bayard refurbished and am waiting on firing pin for the Mauser, but this P38 is in the worst condition of the 3.
Appears to be a Walther P38 manufactured some years before WWII and brought home by my uncle, no firing pin or spring and missing another lever just below the front of the slide. Rust is pretty bad all over the frame, I haven't taken it apart yet, but I am assuming its equally bad. It looks like it was a nickel finish? But I havent seen any online that look like nickel at any rate.
What would you suggest as far as cleaning it up? I am thinking its a 9mm.
thanks,
Joe
