Most German wartime pistols and rifles were manufactured in 'blocks" of around 10,000. They would then proceed to the next letter. There could be two blocks of the same letter made in different years.
You should have a manufacturer's code on the pistol like AC (Walther) or BYF (Mauser) and the year made after it. Such as BYF43. Look for these codes to get your info and go from there.
