Description:
WORLD WAR II German WALTHER Model 9 6.35 Striker Fired Pistol C&R

WORLD WAR II Pistol Made Circa 1921-45

Here we present a C&R Walther Model 8 Pistol manufactured circa 1921-45 in Zella Mehlis, Thuringia, a traditional metalworking and weapon-making area in Central Germany. Production estimates are believed to be in the 200,000 range during its 24-year production run. This little semi-automatic became an instant commercial success due to its modern look and sleek appearance.

The Walther Model 9 was a striker fired semi-automatic pistol produced by Carl Walther and chambered in .25 ACP, also known as 6.35mm. The decision to use a striker vs. that of an internal hammer like on the Walther Model 8 was to reduce overall size of the gun but sacrificed reliability. If the striker spring is compressed for extended periods of time, it can weaken and not have enough force to ignite the primer causing a miss-fire. This can be avoided by not keeping the pistol cocked when not in use. It has a 6 round detachable box magazine. The Model 9 is similar in size and function to the Baby Browning pistol which is only slightly larger. The Browning is also chambered in the .25 ACP cartridge. A Walther Model 9 carried by U.S. Colonel Mickey Marcus is on display at the West Point Museum.

Its predecessor, the Model 8, was made from 1920 to about 1926. The Model 9 was often carried by Third Reich staff officers during World War II, and as a backup gun by aviators, tank crewmen, and the SS, many of whom required weapons that could be used in confined spaces.  Presentation Model 9’s were sometimes given to very high-ranking Third Reich officials. 
This example has multiple single "Crown/N" commercial proofs. The Crown over N is a German pre-war proof mark used before April 1, 1940.

The overall condition is very good. Original blue finish. The action is strong. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. The grips are solid.
