Description:
WORLD WAR II Walther "ac/44" Code P.38 THIRD REICH 9mm C&R Pistol w/HOLSTER
SEMI-AUTOMATIC Pistol from the GERMAN MILITARY
Here we present a C&R Third Reich German Walther “ac/44” code P.38 Pistol, made in 1944 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. There are matching serial numbers on the frame, barrel, and slide. It is fitted with an "eagle/359" proofed blue magazine with unmarked base. The left side of the slide is marked “P.38” and “ac/44”, the code for Walther and the year of manufacture. This example bears the acceptance marks “Eagle/359” and “Eagle/Swastika”.
The overall condition is nearing fine. Much of the original finish has been preserved. Bright, rifled bore. Excellent action. Solid grip.
