Can anyone tell me if I have a real German made Walther P38? This one has confusing markings.
Markings include P38 Cal. 9mm 797 and an F in red under the safety on the left hand side.
9/62 on the slide on the right side and Made in West Germany above the trigger guard on the right side. Behind the trigger guard on the right side is a 66 with a set of antlers? Above a German imperial eagle above the letters IN
The gun digest guide I bought says this has to be post WWII and it is marked made in "West" Germany (and there sure wasn't a "west" Germany prior to WWII). but the waffenfabrik is really throwing me off. It also has that wooden grip.
