Description

WWII-era German Walther P.38 pistol, serial #6661d, 9mm Para., 4 7/8″ barrel with a fine, bright bore that has some faint traces of light freckling within the grooves. This 2nd variant “ac/41” coded pistol has matching numbers on the frame, slide, barrel, and locking block with the metal retaining 92-95% of the original blue finish that has silvered at the muzzle as well as faded to gray on the exposed edges and projections as well as on the sides of the slide. A small and unobtrusive import marking is present on the underside of the barrel and most of the original red paint remains on the “F” within the safety/de-cocker relief cut with a commensurate amount of the white “S” paint as well. The mottled dark brown phenolic resin grips are in fine condition and have only a few very minor handling marks and mild wear visible on either side, mainly at the butt and around the lanyard loop. The pistol is housed in a 1942 dated, original, hard-side holster that has mild crazing and flaking on the flex points but is still intact and fully serviceable. Two original Waffenamt proofed magazines are included. This is a great looking early-war German pistol and rates fine-near excellent condition overall.

This transfers as a modern firearm.
