Description:
WORLD WAR II Walther "ac/43" Code P.38 THIRD REICH 9mm Semi-Auto C&R Pistol
9mm Semi-Auto MILITARY Pistol from the Third Reich
Here we present a C&R German Third Reich Walther “ac/43” code P.38 Pistol, made in 1943 in Zella-Mehlis, Germany. The P.38 was designed by Walther to replace the Luger P.08 as the standard service weapon for the Third Reich’s Wehrmacht. The Luger was a ground-breaking design, but quite expensive to produce.
The P.38 was the first locking breech pistol to feature the double/single action firing mechanism with a de-cocking safety lever, a prelude to many modern pistols to come. It also features a loaded chamber indicator that is both visible and tactile, extending out of the top rear of the slide, just above the hammer. The falling block locking mechanism was also carried into future pistol designs. Many of these design features are found in the Beretta 92 or U.S. M9 pistols.
The Wehrmacht was the primary buyer of these pistols, but the German police also used about 6,800 P.38s. The left side of the slide is marked “P.38” and “ac/43”, the code for Walther and the year of manufacture. It is fitted with an “Eagle/359” proofed blue magazine with an unmarked base. This pistol bears the acceptance/proof marks “Eagle/359” and “Eagle/Swastika”.
The overall condition is good. Strong action. The bore is shiny bright with nice rifling. Numbers match. The grip is in very good shape. Markings are sharp. This example has been refurbished.
