Description:
WORLD WAR II Walther "ac/43" Code P.38 GERMAN MILITARY Pistol C&R

Holster with Ukrainian Surname Scribed Inside

Here we present a C&R German Third Reich Walther “ac/43” code P.38 Pistol, made in 1943 in Zella-Mehlis. 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 decocking 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 Wermacht 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. This pistol bears the acceptance/proof marks “Eagle/359” and “Eagle”.

The overall condition is fine. Original finish. The action is excellent. The bore is in good condition with strong rifling. The grips are in great shape. The numbers match. The holster is dated 1941 and is in good condition. The original belt loops were removed and slots cut into the back of the holster body to suffice as ad hoc belt loops. The inside of the leather flap has been scribed with the name “KOKOSHA”, a surname that appears to originate in the area of Ukraine.
